How to Sew a Buttonhole Without Special Attachments

This video covers how to sew a buttonhole using the presets in some computerized sewing machines for the top, sides, and bottom. If your machine doesn't have these presets you can use a wide zig zag for the top and bottom of the buttonhole and a narrow zig zag for the sides. Turn off the feed dogs for the top and bottom if using a wide zig zag rather than a built-in preset.
The pattern used for this video is the Origami Bin by Stitch Upon a Time which is free with any pattern purchase. Please read the listing below for more information.

The zig zag method was my go-to when I didn't have the buttonhole foot or fancy stitches!
What are you making?! :D
