Here is a good question I just received. If you can help her out, post here.

Hi.
I have made a reversible vest for a man. But I am not sure how to put the buttonholes & buttons no. Can you help me.

You can put buttonholes on both fronts and construct button sets that are like cufflinks. Use a plain button and a decorative one, or two decorative buttons if you want to change the look. Attach them by a thread shank and button through both layers. The wearer can open and close one layer at a time.
