I have a pocket I took off the shirt to do the darts, so my thought
was that if I put an inner button in, I could put the tab from the
interior of the buttonhole placket, button under the pocket. But I'd
have to do a mockup before I know if it works. I've also seen people
sew a button in the gap in-between the two existing buttons, but
inside the button-hole placket, making a new button-hole on the button
side so it's hidden in the shirt.
So much experimenting to do! Luckily this shirt's a charity shop buy
so if I muck it up it's not a huge loss.
