6: Insert felt into fold and pin in place.

7 You now have 3" (9cm) of the cover left to form the closing flap. Place the button on the embroidered side of the closing flap. Using the erasable pen, make two marks on opposite sides of the button. Remove the button and connect the two dots to make a line to trace for your buttonhole. Use backstitch to sew an outline around that line by hand with button thread or fine perle cotton. When the outline is complete, cut the buttonhole open with sharp embroidery scissors or an X-acto knife, being sure to cut through all layers. Using the same thread as before, work buttonhole stitch (see this page) to cover the raw edges and create a smooth opening. Finally, position the button on the other flap, under the buttonhole, and sew it in place using the same thread.
