haha! Sure, I'll pop the kettle on!!

It would be a very, very easy task for a seamstress. In fact, if any of your friends have a sewing machine. The machine does it by itself, it just needs someone to hold it in place and push the pedal so the needle moves.

I'd advise doing it on a piece of fabric first then seeing if the ring on the harness goes through without a problem.

Once the button hole is sewed, all you need is a sharp knife to cut the fabric in the middle of the stitching so that there's a hole. The button hole stitch is the same stitch as on shirts, you can do them in different sizes. The fabric will not rip, the stitching will keep it in place. Same as a regular button hole in a shirt/cardigan.

(Button hole, not hold. Stupid laptop keyboard! I should have checked my spelling before I hit post.)

And you're welcome!

OMG - do you know it was so worth it for me to stay up this late to learn that button holes are cut AFTER they are stitched. I know it probably sounds insane that I didn't know that. But my mom and I kid around that my grandma's master sewing genes skipped TWO generations in our case!

haha! That's cute. I'm glad I could help!

(My Mum sewed all my Ballroom Dancing gowns, I competed/learned for 16 years and now I'm teaching. I learnt from her.)

How Impressive!! A lady that works for me just brought in her daughter's ballet outfits (Nutcracker) that she made. I am blown away with jealousy of you gals that can "create" like that.

Well, I'm leaving YT to those of you who can stay awake (or else live on the other side of the world ). G'Night!

I'm with you on that one. I see that stitch on my choices on the sewing machine dial, but I'm clueless after that. And the zipper foot? Forget about that! lol!

I think I need to take a continuing ed sewing class.

Honestly, just get some fabric remnants and fiddle around! You're not going to break it, just learn by doing and have fun doing so.

Thanks, I think I will play around with it today. The bomber jacket is so cute, I just don't want to mess it up. So, I will play with some scrap fabric first.

It looks like distressed leather. The only thing I have to figure out is how to attach to his harness. I don't want to put the harness on the outside as that distracts from the "cool factor". There is a tiny flap right about where the d-ring would be underneath. I hate to ruin it, but I thought maybe I could make an "incision" under that little flap. Any ideas from you crafty people??

I saw that same jacket at my walmart but they didn't have Nathan's size which is xxs!!!! It looks so manly on Coby!!!

I keep looking at my Walmart to see if they'll get any more of the little ones. If they do, I'll grab 'em and let you know.........
