070: Mastering Buttonholes in Knit Fabrics with Melanie Keane


Listen Later

Terrified of sewing buttonholes in knit fabrics? If the mere thought sends shivers down your spine, fear no more! My special guest and sewing friend, Melanie Keane, recently  mastered this technique, and has joined me to guide you through this sometimes daunting task.

Mel is no stranger to the podcast, sharing how she started sewing in her fifties in episode 50. She now runs an inspiring refugee sewing project and she also shares her recent experience at the Knitting and Stitching show.

Get ready to learn all about Melanie's approach to stabilizing fabric and selecting the right interfacing—key steps in achieving the perfect buttonhole. Melanie will also share her secret weapon and it's definitely a tip I will be using on my next stretch fabric project.

I hope you have as much fun with this episode as I did.
