Use cases

• To attach a four-hole button, pass the thread crosswise and then wrap it under the head to create a rod: the button is better positioned in the buttonhole.
• A taupe is useful for sewing fabrics with a neutral mixed background: if you don't have an exact shade, opt for a thread close to the dominant color.
• On a seam subject to tension, such as a patch pocket, reinforce the corners with a small back and forth of tight stitches.

Pair it with warm grey linen and horn buttons. A matching zipper will complete a skirt or trousers.
