Grandfathers shirt

Has anyone ever sewing a button on a shirt?

You often find that the button is too close to the fabric which makes it very had to open and close the button.
You can create a shank if you know how or another easy way is to slip a match between the button and the fabric.  Stitch the button on and then pull the match out!
Hope you find this helpful! :)
