How do you sew a hole?

It depends on how big the hole is. If it is a slit, turn the fabric inside out. Line up the two edges, making sure loose threads are on your side. After threading the needle, knotting the thread, begin slightly back from the left edge of the rip. Use a small running stitch, which means, put the needle in and out very close to each entry / exit point. Try to make all stitches of even length and tension--do not pull too tightly on the thread and keep the rip flat. At the end, extend one or two stitches past the ripped section. Then, insert the needle and bring it back up with a thread loop on your side. Put the needle through the loop, once, twice, three times and gently pull down toward fabric. Cut the thread leaving at least 2" inches. Separate the threads. Tie them to make a knot. If the hole is wider, so you cannot bring the 2 edges together, you will need to patch it.

It is usually done by a special button hole machine.

I doubt if one can do it alone.

The machine basically cuts open a hole, and stitches the surroundings to give it shape.

To hand sew a button hole, use the modified blanket stitch, putting the stitches very close together. An online search for button hole stitch will show you how the stitch is done.

How do you sew with hammer beads?

do you mean Hama Beads? It would depend on if you were attempting to sew them as single beads or as fused multibead creations. The short answer is-- anything that has a hole in it can be sewn to fabric. as long as it's weight can be supported by the material you are using to 'sew' it with and the fabric you are sewing it to... you could sew up through fabric string the bead on your sewing material (thread or what have you), and then sew down through the fabric. You may need to make several stitches through heavier beads to secure them. You can also sew up through the hole in whatever item you are using and sew through a smaller bead and then back down through the larger hole (similarly to sewing on a sequin). If you are attempting to sew fused items, sew through multiple holes in the item to secure it flat to the fabric. It is often easiest to sew beads to fabric if it is under tension-- using either a hoop or a scroll frame is really handy, or you can staple it to a frame (which will support a lot more weight if you are doing a very heavy beading project).
