Description
That same toggle shape in a pale mint. Because it sets crosswise through a loop, your finished piece needs no buttonhole sewn at all.
A plastic button carrying a bar shank, 20 mm in size, given as 2 cm in sewing patterns. Its surface is smooth and firm, the motif worked in, surviving laundering as well as the button does. It arrives singly. A matchstick underneath while sewing leaves room for your buttonhole's fabric — afterwards, wind that gap with thread so the shank holds.
What Plastic Button 20 mm Toggle Shape Mint is suitable for
- Cardigans, because mint suits natural wool.
- Children's jackets, because a loop closes quickly.
- Pairings with pink, because both toggles form a pair.
Frequently asked questions
How large should my buttonhole be?
As a rule of thumb, its diameter plus the thickness of your button. Test a hole on a scrap: it should pass through without slipping back out by itself.
Will it survive a washing machine?
Plastic is less sensitive than wood or mother-of-pearl, coming through a normal wash well. At high temperatures or in a tumble dryer stay careful, so that surface stays smooth, the motif clear.
How do I combine motif buttons?
One motif button usually suffices as a focal point — the rest of your placket may stay plain. If you set them all alike, pick a quiet fabric, or print and button compete for the same attention.
Can I attach it by machine?
With a button foot and feed dogs lowered, yes. Set stitch width to your hole spacing and turn the handwheel slowly first, so your needle hits both holes safely.
