Showing our age! Yes, I learned to do buttonholes by hand when I was a teenager.

Remember my mother getting a buttonholer for her old singer treadle. ( She sewed a lot of clothes when I was young.). Then when she got her electric zigzag machine it was off to the races. That was in the early 60's. I was about ten.
