I plan to tackle this now. I have been sewing for about 4/5 and have avoided them. It’s ridiculous. I know I’m capable. This is the week. I plan to start with scraps of fabric until they no longer trigger anxiety. I’m posting this to hold me to account 💪

Hi Annie!
I completely understand! I was terrified of buttonholes for aaggggeeees!! Like they are often the last thing to do so if it goes wrong 🤷🤷🤦🤦😭😭
Anyway, I actually did my first buttonhole 1 year ago! I was so proud I posted an insta/Facebook story about it! 🤣
I've done a few since too but I feel braver to tackle them now. I was doing shirt button holes last week and I had to unpick 1 buttonhole 4 times! It just wouldn't work! It unpicked fine and I eventually did all of them, after nearly throwing my machine out the window! 🤣
The most common advise is practice or do what I did and just give it ago! Feel the fear and do it anyway! 🥳
I believe in you! 💕

Amazing, you can totally do this, and we are right here behind you!
Definitely practice loads on scraps - what kind of buttonhole function does your machine have?
