Abstract
A self-fastening and replaceable fastener for attaching a button to at least one layer of fabric. The fastener includes a coil. The button has at least one sew throughbore. The coil is helically-shaped so as to form a thread pattern for treatably puncturing through at least one of the at least one layer of fabric. The coil has a head and a tip that passes through an associated sew throughbore in the button and treatably punctures through the at least one layer of fabric, until such time as the head of the coil, which is widened, seats on the button.
