I am turning a sweatshirt into a jacket.  I cut the sweatshirt into 5 pieces and sew and flip strips on each piece and sew the pieces back together and bind.  Does anyone know how I can use the slotted buttonhole / buttonhole in seam as a closure?

Re: Slotted Buttonhole (Buttonhole Inseam)

Dear charweebee,

In order to answer your question properly I need to know how you have sewn the front opening.

From what I can tell it seems that you have used the binding as closure in the front, if so the seam allowance has to be pressed open at the seam line for you to be able to sew the slotted buttonholes.

See if you can take pictures from the right side and wrong side of the opening and either post them here as a reply or email them to me and we will post them here and be able to give you a more accurate response.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
