How To Attach Snaps to Clothing

[@Thx-I-made-it]

I lost a battle with the buttonhole setting on my machine... thank you for your clear instructions! Hopefully I'll have more success with snaps for my jumpsuit now!

[@k3of5ks]

I cannot tell you how timely this is. Great job Lindsey. I'll be installing some snaps tonight!!!

[@makedaabraham7973]

Talk about being right on time!!! I literally needed this video right at this moment. Great tutorial.

[@kathleenkolb3316]

excellent instructions. Had applied some to baby bibs several years ago, don't remember how. Would be a nice change from buttons. Thank you !

[@glynn2023]

Thanks finally someone showing us the easy way!

[@chrisl3977]

Thank you for posting this buying some snaps for material so this was great to learn how it’s done 😊

[@junaidhassan6839]

Love the tip for leaving impression in the backend to alien the buttons

[@kellyp6593]

Very helpful!! I have never tried snaps.

[@glendahutchinson740]

Yes, I too, needed this tutorial. I’ve had a lot education about this, and you have explained the problems, clearing up how to buy and sharing exactly how to place the snaps, that was confusing before. Could you share your pretty pattern make?

Dress reveal on Monday!

[@kathleenkolb3316]

Forgot to add, the gingham dress is adorable, nice work. Riley Blake had a video "Gingham Style" of a young boy in a gingham suit, so cute, might want to take a look if you have a moment!

[@brendaseavey6284]

Loved this! And such an adorable dress!

[@youtube_bryant3579]

This looks so much easier and cleaner than sewn on buttons. I've got to try this on my next project.

[@Chafalota]

YOU ARE EXCELLENT AT EXPLAINING HOW TO ATTACH THESE SNAPS 💯💯💯👍👍👍

[@quackie3060]

Thank you so much; and to think that I bought a tool to install them. I could have saved that money.

[@dianemacelree4657]

The tool available now looks like a pair of pliers. It is available wherever they sell snaps. It makes the installation a “snap”.

[@thomasinagoss3611]

When I was and high school we had a tool that look like a paper hole . But was for snap and it was so easy. It fit all size snap. I don’t remember what it was call but it was a great tool to have for making baby pj . Your way look more complicated.

[@robinh]

I highly recommend The Snap Source.

[@pambutler5437]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've always wondered and been afraid to try and ruin a garment.

[@pujo28]

Hello, do you think adding snaps like these would work to secure a jacket liner to a jacket

[@dianegould1696]

Great video! I love the retro look.

[@stefanpeach2664]

[@rikkib7636]

Thanks Lindsey! My Fiona is still without snaps 😁 (been over a month now) This is very helpful:)

[@cynthiaott2201]

I have heavy duty security pants with many pockets. 2 of the pockets have Velcro fastening. Gets stuck when I move around in security golf cart and would like to take them off and put 2 snaps on each pocket where Velcro is. How can I do that. I used to have a snap kit for jeans but lost part of it. Please help.

[@Healthycook0001]

Could you make a video using the snap kit from the body suit/top video? I bought one from you link and should get it next week.

[@InsidetheHem]

Yah! You’re going to love them. I’ll add this to the list and try to get it done ASAP!

[@stonecrestquilt]

You have on your cute little dress!! Great tutorial!

[@shaidabegum.]

I bought the prym vario plus. You can only use prym buttons with the prym pliers.

[@jimchallender4616]

What snaps size (I've seen 17 and 24 mm sizes) and brand do you recommend that I use to replace the Velcro fasteners on the flaps that cover/close the side pockets of my cargo pants. I really like "Wrangler Men's Relaxed Fit Stretch Cargo Pants" - they fit well and have a Cell Phone Pocket that I really like, but the pants have Velcro pocket fasteners which I dislike and want to replace with some sort of metal snap. Can you help me?

[@InsidetheHem]

On amazon, look for some made by Dritz. Size is up to you and also depends on the pocket size. Assuming these are men’s pants and larger pockets, 24mm should work.

[@InsidetheHem]

They also have heavy duty snaps which you might need to get through the layers of thicker fabric.

[@debbiebridges8807]

Thank you

[@lindakrol5376]

thanks for a great idea and tutorial - I guess if you did not want them to show you could use it on a hidden button placket too

[@InsidetheHem]

Totally!

[@carlahumphrey6258]

Where did you get the snaps?

[@robyn3349]

Thank you!

[@brandonmadden5601]

Can you show how to seal an old button while and put snap over it

[@InsidetheHem]

I don’t understand. I don’t know what deal a button means.

[@corrineshilling5949]

What size snaps did you use

[@InsidetheHem]

Maybe 1/2”.

[@k3of5ks]

PS....if you ever want to get rid of your black gingham dress, I know of a perfect home here in Arizona. :-)

[@anitabarker112]

Where were you last evening when I needed you?????

[@Animegypsy]

Are there any women's jeans that close with snap buttons? I want to get some for my girlfriend.

[@InsidetheHem]

No idea. We only sew clothes around here! :)

[@robby3467]

Saves a lot of unnecessary sewing. Plus, snaps look tidier than buttons and less ugly. Especially ugly are those small plastic buttons found on shirts.

[@carlahumphrey6258]

Where did you get the snaps?
