Introduction

As we continue to wear our clothing, it may start to lose the durability it once had. Adding a hook and eyes on certain clothing such as a dress, would make the clothing item last longer. This guide would show step by step how to thread a sewing needle and how to properly sew on hook and eyes to a clothing item. By using this guide, it would prolong the life of the clothing item and reduce the amount of clothing someone may throw out.

    • Slide the needle down the thread until you reach about two inches from the loop.

    • Position the needle between the loop and pull through.

    • This will create a knot at the base of the needle which will make the thread less tangled.

    • Next, pull on both ends of the thread to make them equal length before tying a knot.
