Sew:
1. Place cotton piece and chino fabric right sides together and stitch
the buttonhole.

end. Cut to the corners at each end to form a triangle as illustrated.
3. Press the end triangles and the sides away from the buttonhole.
4. Pull the cotton through the buttonhole opening to the wrong side.
5. Fold the cotton so the edges of the buttonhole are formed and
meet at the center of the buttonhole opening forming a pleat at each

a triangle.

across the base of each triangle, catching the pleat of the rectangle to
secure it.
