The first step in sewing on a button or a snap is to properly locate it. If you are replacing a button, fasten the remaining buttons first - then see where the button hole for the missing button lines up. Thread a needle and tie it off, then mark the location of the button by passing the needle through the cloth from the underside. If desired, you can then unbutton the other buttons.

- Selvage
- the edge of a piece of fabric, specially woven to resist unraveling.
- Bias
- is a line that would go from corner to corner on a square piece of fabric. The bias of a fabric is very stretchy, crossing the fabric's threads at a 45° angle.
- Grain of Fabric
- is the internal lay of the fabric - that is how the threads from which the fabric is woven are arranged. The lengthwise grain is parallel to the selvage, and the crosswise grain is perpendicular to the selvage.

Laundry Bag
A laundry bag is not difficult to make. It is usually made from two pieces of cloth: a circle and a rectangle. The circle should be about 1.25 inches larger in diameter than the desired laundry bag. The width of the rectangle should be the same as the circumference of the circle (diameter times 3.14) plus another 1.5 inches. The length of the rectangle should be the desired length of the laundry bag plus two inches.
