| Need a button hole for that harness D ring? The one thing I have been afraid to do is sew a button hole. Crazy, right? I have so many cute little shirts and jackets for Gizmo, but he never wears them because they don't have a button hole for the D ring. I just found this great little instructional video on how to sew a button hole. Just thought someone else might be able to benefit from it as well. :0 Happy Sunday!

| I'm self-taught...reading...trial and error and now these videos. I've heard Joann's has great classes though. I am having fun and saving a lot of money on simple things.

| Cool! I think I have a button hole feature on my machine but I'm terrified of ruining something. I will try it on some scrap first.

| not stupid Marci...I'm still trying to figure that out myself. I think it's a little wider one. Anyone know?

| I think so. I would guess that you could do it any way you want to.

| Thanks much for the post. Just be cautious. I was at the park today, had Gracie in a harness with the D ring on her chest, her coat's button hole on the back was empty. A little boy asked if he could pet Gracie. While petting her, he fumbled with the button hole and said "I should ask my grandma to sew that up for you".

| Funny you should post this. When I got Coby's bomber jacket, I was asking about button holes for the d-ring and that was when I learned that you actually sew the button hole first and then cut it!! I didn't even know that much!

Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | The top and bottom have a wider zig zag, if anyone is doing this buttonhole for the d ring to fit through, please reinforce the stitching by double zig zagging stitching on the both long sides and quite a few times top and bottom. Very important. Great post. Patti and Jack and girls |

| Thanks for posting this! I also have a ton of stuff for the boys, but they can't wear them out because there is no hole for the harness. Now I can make button holes!
