This video shows how to make button holes that look like they were done on an industrial button hole machine, but using only a regular domestic zigzag sewing machine. 
As I don't have an industrial button hole machine I needed to be a bit inventive, and so I came up with this method about 30 years ago. 
As this is intended for anyone who wants to give this a try, I'm posting the uncut version to show the entire process. I hope it may be of use to other hobby jeans makers who, like me, do not have access to a professional button hole machine.

Making keyhole button holes

I've been making jeans as a hobby for over 30 years. In this channel I will show how I make them, as a reference for others who are interested in making their own jeans.
