Did you know that push buttons are actually skirts? Yep, there is a fair bit of hidden sewing in the world of electronics. Electronics suppliers rely upon the fact that most people don’t have a clue about how things work. If they see the right label and tag, then it’s fair game to sell customers something they don’t fully understand. For example, did you know that when you buy a push button, it really isn’t just a push button? No, not even close! A push button is actually part of a skirt because all electronic parts need to be protected from moisture and dust. If you buy an electronic part with no packaging protection beyond cardboard or plastic bags, then it’s just like wearing nothing at all. This means dirt, grime and grease can easily get into the electronics circuit board and cause damage. By simply adding a bit of protective packaging to your purchases, electronics suppliers can make more money from each item sold while keeping their costs low as well as reducing waste from disposal.
What is a Push Button?
A push button is one of the most common electronic components. They are typically used in computers, cell phones, TVs, radios and other electronic devices. Basically, they are switches that can either be pushed or held down to turn a device on or off. An example of a push button is found on your cell phone when you’re on the phone calling someone and want to hang up. You need to hold the button for about two seconds for it to work properly.
How to Make A Push Button Skirt
The process of making a push button skirt is actually quite simple.
You will need some way to measure the length of your skirt and then know how wide it needs to be. This includes being able to cut fabric, sew, and make a zipper. First you will need to pin up your skirt. Pin up the length that you want the button to be in order to make sure it fits around your desired button. Then you will need to pin up the width of the fabric at each point on the skirt where you want the button sewn on. The easiest way would be for you to use a fabric pen or pencil to mark out a pattern on one piece of fabric for each point that you need a button sewn on. Once you’ve done this, then it’s time for sewing! You can start by using a zigzag stitch along all four sides of your pattern and then start sewing from each point toward the center of the zipper so that when it’s done, it looks like an arrow going into a V shape. If you want buttons sewn onto each side, then just repeat this process twice for each side. After that, set aside about 10 minutes for sewing on your buttons and finishing touches such as hemming and gathering with thread or pinking with paper scissors. Add any other details such as ribbons or bows at this point too!
Step 1: Find Materials
First, you’ll need to find the materials you’ll need. This includes an adhesive backing material like a hot glue gun or tape and other supplies like pins and wire cutters. Step 2: Cut Out Fabric
Next, you’ll want to cut out fabric to fit the desired size of your button. You may want to adjust for extra room for sewing if needed. Some people also use pattern paper but that gets expensive and it’s not necessary for this project. Step 3: Apply Adhesive
Once you have the fabric, it is time to put down the adhesive on one side of the fabric. For this project, we will be using hot glue gun because it affixes quickly but can also be removed easily with a little bit of water (it can be applied in reverse if needed). Just don’t put too much glue on the fabric because there is not enough room for this stuff later on! Step 4: Glue Pin On Backing
Once you have applied the adhesive, place your pin on top of it and press down firmly so that it sticks to the back side of your fabric. You can then use your remaining glue gun to apply a small amount around the bottom edge of your pin so that they don’t come loose when you sew them onto your skirt later on. Step 5: Sew Button Onto Skirt
After applying a generous amount of glue around all three sides of each pin, start sewing along
Step 2: Print Instructions & Patterns
You’ll want to print out the instructions and patterns onto paper first before taking a stab at the project.
This is because the pattern that you need to cut out is tiny, so it doesn’t make sense to print it out if you can’t see it.
Step 3: Cut Out Your Materials
Before you create your skirt, you need to cut out all the materials you need for the skirt. This includes a piece of Velcro, a piece of fabric and some elastic that suits your needs. First, measure the length and width of your button. You will also need to find out how long your elastic should be because it’s not something that can be calculated easily. Next, fold this length of elastic in half before cutting it at one end.
Step 4: Assemble The Skirt
It’s time to put the skirt on now. We’re going to start by attaching the wire to the circuit board. The wire we need is a 20-gauge twisted pair with a max length of 2 meters (6.5 feet). You might also want to add a bit of heat shrink tubing over the wires before attaching them, just in case.
Step 5: Sew The Pieces Together
Next, we’ll sew the pieces together. We’ll need to find a sewing machine that has an extra small sewing needle and start sewing from one side. Sew about 5cm of the seam (or as far as you can get without breaking the thread). Then, take your iron and press the seam flat again. Take your time here because this stage is really important.
On the other hand, if you have a sewing machine with a large needle then you’ll be able to sew along the whole seam – but it will take longer so make sure you are ready for that before beginning. If your machine doesn’t come with a large needle, then use an old one or buy an extra long needle when you’re out shopping for supplies.
Step 6: Add Any Final Details You Want
If you want to make your push button skirt even more unique and impressive, then you can add any final details that you want. For example, if you wanted to make an electronic button into a fire button, all you would need to do is attach the necessary wires for each side of the circuit board. It’s really that simple!
Conclusion
Now, that you know how to make a push button skirt, you can use this skill to create your next project. From skirts to home decor, there are so many things you can create with your sewing skills. Now that you have the knowledge, it’s up to you to take the next step and create something amazing!
