i try making every type of Chinese button closure 盘扣 (using traditional couture sewing techniques)

Although I see pan kou 盘扣 (frog knots) as an art form in itself, these little babies are typically found on qipao 旗袍, or cheongsam. If you enjoyed this video, I recently made another qipao here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuPRWQyHrXc and have a history of qipao video you might like to watch here 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnHjFFakSME Traditional button closure tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmHc8NGMRp8&t=207s Sun Flower button closure tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkklbbNcSeo&t=10s Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below, and I’ll try my best to answer with the knowledge I currently have.
