TYPES OF FASTENERS

Lesson information 4.1

Fasteners are the items which are used to close a garment opening. They are
deco-rative as well as functional. Care should be taken while selecting a fastener as
they must be rust free and withstand laun-dering.

1. Buttons are in-arguably the oldest and most used of all fasteners. They are mostly
made of plastic but you also get buttons in metal, wood and seashell. Buttons
are one of the last things you sew when sewing a dress. Buttonholes are made
before buttons are stitched on to the garment for correct placement.

The two Kinds of Buttons classified as per how they are applied to the fabric are:

5
 a. Sew-through-buttons are flat buttons with two or more holes through which
we loop thread and attach it to the fabric. There are many varieties of buttons for you
to choose from like see through buttons, irregularly shaped buttons.
Select buttons according to the fabric of your garment. The heavy fabric needs
a heavy button and delicate fabric small buttons. A contrasting button over your fabric
will add an interesting element to the design of the garment. Use smooth flat textured
buttons on smooth textured fabrics and shiny buttons on shiny fabrics. When selecting
numbers I go for an odd number of buttons rather than an even number.
Marking and Sewing Buttonholes

Buttonholes for blouse are usually horizontal and placed on the right side. The
outer end is fanned to accommodate the button shank and the inner end is bar-tacked
to give strength to the buttonholes.

To make buttonholes:

1. Measure the distance of buttonholes.

Mark with dot using pencil. Allowance
from the edge should be 1.5 cm.

2. From the dot, mark the length of the

buttonhole by placing a button (center at
the dot) and marking its diameter with a
pencil. It should correspond to the size of
the button. The allowance from the edge
should be at least 1.5 cm.

3. Machine stitch about .2 cm around the

entire buttonhole.

4. Fold and make a small cut in the middle

with a sharp pointed pair of scissors.
Open the cut and slash each end.

5. Sew buttonhole stitches around. Make

sure the fan is situated on the edge.

6
General Guidelines for making Buttonholes
1. Buttonholes are made before the buttons are attached (but after the rest of the
garment is finished).
2. For women’s garments buttonholes are on the right and for men’s garment on
the left. Always interface the area you are making the buttonhole.
3. Use a thread with color close to the garment fabric or choose a slightly darker
one. Cotton machine embroidery thread looks good when made into a
buttonhole. You can use the regular sewing thread as well
4. A slight looser top thread tension will make your stitching go easier.
5. After you have made the buttonhole, and when it comes to cutting it open, keep
two pins at the top and bottom and then slice open. This will prevent accidental
large holes.
6. Vertical vs. Horizontal buttonholes? On shirts, vertical buttonholes are used on
the front except on the collar (on collar stand a horizontal butthole is made). On
jackets and overcoats you can make horizontal buttonholes.
Always make a test buttonhole on a scrap of the same fabric you will be using
for the garment, before making on the actual garment. I would use an actual interfaced
fabric scrap piece.
Buttonholes
All of the many buttonhole methods are variations of two basic types, bound and
worked.
The method you choose for a garment will depend on the design of that garment.
Bound buttonholes are made by stitching strips of fabric to the buttonhole
location in any of several ways. The measurement will be the total length of the
buttonhole from end to end.
Machine-worked buttonhole consist of two parallel rows of zigzag stitches and
open only after stitching is complete.
Hand-worked buttonholes are made by finishing a cut in the fabric with hand
buttonhole stitches. On a worked buttonhole, however, because of the finishing that is
allowed at each end, the space allowed for must be 1/8 inch greater that the actual
size.
Determining and testing buttonhole length the length of the buttonhole opening
should equal the diameter of the button plus its height.
To check buttonhole length, make a slash in a scrap of a garment fabric equal
to the length desired for the buttonhole opening. If the button slips easily, buttonhole
length is correct.
According to the shape of the buttonhole they can be classified as the following

7
 1) Box buttonholes

This buttonhole is the most used type

and is usually seen in shirts and pants

2) Rounded buttonholes

3) Keyhole buttonholes

4) Stretch buttonholes

As per orientation of the buttonhole, they can be classified as vertical and

horizontal. Horizontal is the most used among the two types. They handle stress and
strain really well. If you have a closely fitted dress you should be using a horizontal
buttonhole. Vertical buttonholes are used when you do not have enough space for
horizontal buttonholes.

Some tips when sewing buttonholes

• Always measure and mark the button before the buttonholes are made. You can
make the markings with pins, pencil, thread or chalk.
• Ensure that all the markings are of similar length
• Remember that for men’s clothing the buttonholes will be on the left side of
the garment and for women’s clothing they will be on the right side of the
garment.
• Cut the buttonhole opening with a very sharp tool, be it a scissors, or a chisel or a
seam ripper. The cut should not be made in a ragged fashion. One single cut is the
way to go. There are specific buttonhole cutters available if you are making a lot of
them, it is worth to buy this handy sewing tool.
• You sew the buttonholes before sewing the buttons usually
• Pressing is an essential step that you should not bypass in every step of making
fabric buttonholes

8
Marking and Attaching the Buttons

Buttons should be selected carefully to suit both the weight and color of the
fabric. They should be sewn securely by strong matching color thread to allow the
buttonholes to close under the button without puckering the fabric. The common type
of button for blouses is the shank button. Here are the steps in marking and attaching
the shank buttons.

1. Lay buttonholes over the area

where the buttons will be sewn.
2. Mark with pencil or slip a pin
through the buttonhole to the
exact location where the button
should be attached.
3. Position the button on the mark.
4. Bring the needle through the
holes in the button at least three
times.
5. Finally fasten the thread on the
wrong side.

2. Snaps /Press Studs

Snaps are the easiest of all fasteners and are hence seen frequently in baby
clothes. There are different types of snaps. Some can be hand sewn on to clothes,
while others need a snap plier to put on. They are also available as snap tape, with
several snaps arranged in a row along the length of the tape.
These black or silver metal studs are made of two parts, a ball half and a socket half
which snap together. They are useful as a close invisible finish to fairly fine materials,
but will not stand a great deal of strain.

Snap Fastener Made from a nylon or metal, this

fastener is formed from a ball and socket, which
simply press or snap together and are easily
pulled apart.

9
Nonsew Snap Fastener This fastener has a
decorative metal cap. The fabric is held between
the socket stud and the stud cap. The other edge
is held between the ball stud and the rivet. The
two sides then snap together.

Nonsew covered snap Designed to look like a

covered button, this ball-and-socket fastener is
available in a kit containing five pieces that snap
together. It is covered by a circle of fabric.

Attaching Snap Fastener

Ball-and-Socket Fastener

1. Fasten the thread firmly to the wrong side

of the overlapping edge. Such the ball
stud to this edge, without stitching through
to the right side. Finish with backstitches
at the stud edge.

2. Close the opening. Pass a pin through the

center of the ball stud to mark the position
for the socket stud. Mark the point with
another pin or a dressmaker’s pencil.

3. Stitch the Socket Stud firmly to the right

side of the underlapping edge in the same
way as the ball stud. Use four stitches to
secure each hole and backstitches as the
base.

10
3. Hook and Eye

Hook and eye closure are a very simple and secure method of fastening
garments together. It consists of a metal hook, commonly made of flattened wire bent
to the required shape, and an eye of the same material into which the hook fits.

Standard hook and eye These fasteners have

looped eye for use on adjoining fabric edges or
straight eye for use with lapped fabric edges.

Covered hook and eye This set has a looped eye.

It is used on coats, jackets and garments made
from deep-pile fabrics.

Skirt hook and bar This sturdy set is used on pants

and skirt waistbands. The design stops the hook
from slipping off the straight eye.

Attaching Hook-and-Eye fastener

Hook and Looped Eye

1. Stitch around the inside of the hook three to four

times. This will secure it in place so it rests firmly
on the garment and will hold it in place while the
remainder of the hook is sewn.

Run the thread under the hook and through the

underside of the fabric, then up into the center of
the top hole. You don’t want the running thread to
show, so work carefully.

2. Place the eye onto the hook to determine its

location. Unhook and tape the eye (making sure
to leave the two wire rings free of tape) in place
to keep it from moving as you sew. Repeat the
same blanket stitch process to secure the eye
in place.

11
3. Fasten the hook and eye. The finished edges of
the two parts of the garment should just meet
and lie flat, so that no part of the hook or eye is
visible on the right side of the garment.

Hook and Straight Eye

1. Stitch the hook to the wrong side of the

overlapping edge, with their ends about 1/8 in
(3mm) in from the edge. Close up the opening,
and mark the position of the bears with pins on
the right side of the underlap.

2. Stitch around the first hole on a bar. Slip the

needle between the fabric layers, along to the
second hole, and stitch around it. Slip the needle
to the second bar position and stitch. Finish by
fastening the thread securely.

Skirt Hook and Bar

1. Position the hook on the wrong side of the

waistband overlap, 1/8 in (3mm) in from the fabric
so that the bar will be covered when the is fastened.
Stitch with several stitches through each hole.

2. Close the opening, and overlap the waistband ends.

Position the bar on the right side of the waistband so
that it corresponds with the hook. Pin through the
holes to hold the bar in place, and secure it with
several stitches.

12
4. Zipper
A zipper which is also referred to as a zip is a fastening device. It is commonly
used for binding the edges of the opening of fabrics or other flexible materials, including
clothing (jackets, jeans, etc.), luggage & bags, camping gear (tents, sleeping bags,
etc.), sporting goods and so forth. There are many types available, in a variety of
lengths, colors, and materials, but they all fall into one of five categories: skirt or pant
zippers, metal or jeans zippers, invisible zippers, open-ended zippers, and decorative
zippers.
a. Lapped Zipper - skirt zipper in a skirt or a dress is usually put in by means of
a lapped technique or a centered zipper technique. For both of these techniques, you
will require the zipper foot on the sewing machine. A lapped feature on one side of
the seam- the left-hand side- covering the teeth of the zipper to conceal them.
Attaching the Lapped Zipper

Step 1.
On the wrong side of the fabric, measure and
mark the placket opening where the zipper will
be placed. Do this by measuring from the top of
the garment down along the seam to the zipper
bottom stop. Take into consideration the
composition of garment and if there will be a
waistband or any other special feature at the top
of the zipper. Mark the placement of the bottom
stops with a marking pencil.
Step 2.
While sewing the seam, machine stitch the seam
closed until the marked point of the bottom of the
zipper, backstitch, then switch to a basting stitch
for the distance of the placket seam. Press seam
allowance open.

Step 3.
Replace sewing machine foot with a zipper foot.
Place zipper face down with the teeth centered
on the pressed open seam on the inside of the
garment, matching top and bottom stops with
marks.

Step 4.
Beginning at the bottom and sewing only on the
zipper tape and seam allowance, machine baste
along the stitching guideline on the zipper tape
(approximately in the center of the zipper tape).

13
Step 5:
Turn the zipper face up, creating
a small fold in the same seam allowance
that you’ve just sewn. Lightly press to define the
fold, which should be close to yet not touching
the teeth. Topstitch from bottom to top going
through the right side of the seam allowance,
back side of same seam allowance, and zipper
tape along the edge of the fold

Step 6:
Turn the garment right side out. Hand
baste across the bottom of the zipper and up
along the un-sewn side of the zipper, making
sure to catch the garment, seam allowance and
the zipper tape in the stitch. The basting stitch
should be centered along the zipper tape.

Step 7:
Now using a regular machine stitch, and still
working from the right side of the garment,
topstitch through the garment, seam allowance,
and zipper tape, backstitching at each end.
Follow close to the basting stitch, beginning from
the bottom seam. Sew several stitches along the
bottom, turn and stitch up the side to the top of
the garment.

Step 8:
Remove machine and hand
basting stitches and open the placket
to reveal the zipper

14
b. Open-Ended Zipper The open-ended zipper is used on garments to lack the two
sides of the zipper into place. The zippers are closed using sliders, and are used
on jackets. It needs to be fully opened in order to put the garment on.
1. On both pieces of fabric, turn under the
seam allowance at the center front and
baste. Neaten by preferred method.
2. Turn up the hem allowance and baste in
place.
3. Place the folded edge of the center front
about 1/8in (3mm) from the zipper teeth to
allow for the pull to move up and down.
Pin in place.

4. Place the button of the zipper at the hem

edge.
5. Using the zipper foot, sew the zipper in
place. Start with the zipper open. Sew 2in
(5cm), then place the needle in the work,
raise the zipper foot, and close the zipper.

6. Sew to the end of the zipper tape and

secure.
7. Pin the other side of the zipper in place on
the other piece of fabric. Make sure the
fabric line up top and bottom. 8. Undo the
zipper and, using the zipper foot, sew in
place you did on the first side.

9. Once the zipper is sewn in place, check

that the hems line up. If they do not, you
will have to rip the seam and start again.

10. The zipper should be open completely.

c. Invisible Zipper- This type of zipper looks different from other zippers because
the teeth are on the reverse and nothing is seen except the pull is seen on the
front. The zipper is inserted before the seam is sewn. A special invisible zipper
foot is required.

1. Mark the seam allowance with basting

stitches.

15
2. Place the center of the zipper over the
baste line, right side of zipper to right
side of fabric. Pin in place.

3. Undo the zipper. Using the invisible

zipper foot, sew from the top of the
zipper down as far as possible. Stitch
under the teeth. The machine will stop
when the foot hits the zipper pull.

4. Do the zipper up. Place the other piece

of fabric to the zipper. Match along the
upper edge. Pin the other side of the
zipper tape in place.

5. Open the zipper again. Using invisible

zipper foot, sew down the other side of
the zipper to attach to the second
piece of fabric. Remove any basting
stitches.

6. On the right side, the zipper is

completely invisible, with just pull
visible at the top. Apply a waistband or
facing the press.

Procedure in Pressing the Finished Garment

Pressing is the application of heat, moisture and pressure maintaining actual

time to give shape, mold or crease on fabrics, or garment parts. It is being done to
make the fabric smooth or to give it a perfect form. This is an important finishing
process in the garment or apparel industry. Pressing or ironing is done during assembly
but most of the time as a final finishing process.

Purpose of Garment Pressing

The main purpose of garment pressing is to increase the adornment of the

garments.The following are the key objects of garments pressing.

1. Removal of unwanted creases and wrinkles. Different types of unwanted creases

and wrinkles happened during sewing of garments, thus pressing or ironing of
garments is done.
2. Shaping. Dart and seam are used to the garments for proper shaping to the
wearer. Pressing is done to increase the beauty and attractiveness of created
shape.

A newly sewn garment should be pressed before fitting. Pressing enhances

the appearance of the garment .Remove any soiled spots before pressing.

You may:
1. Press pockets, collars, cuffs or buttonholes from the right side.
2. Press the under side with details as facings, including pocket linings, and
seam allowances.
3. Press the whole garment, the bodice first, then the skirt.
4. Place garment on well-shaped hanger and do not wear until it is well-aired
and completely dry. Close the zipper. Remove belt from loops of the
garment, and place the belt on the hanger.

Good and well-made garments lose the quality if they are wrinkled and untidy.
They must be pressed everytime they are worn. Careful pressing and ironing the
garments is necessary.

19
Tools needed in pressing/ironing
1. Iron. steam iron is ideal
2. Ironing board and cover. A nicely padded up ironing board; Even a mini ironing
board near your sewing area will serve the purpose.
3. Pressing clothes. This is a piece of cloth used between the iron box and the
garment. This one prevents scorching your precious fabric, as well as protects
your fabric from the residue in the iron box plate
4. Padded ham. Used to keep the curved seams when pressing.

Application of heat and pressure on ladies blouse

Basic components of pressing:
The main elements of the pressing process are heat, pressure and moisture,
which deform fibers, yarns and fabrics to accomplish the required effect.
1. Heat – It is necessary to soften the fibers, stabilize and set the fabric in the
desired shape. Temperature must be selected based on the fibers, yarns and
fabrics.
2. Steam (Moisture) – It is fastest way of transmitting the heat onto the fabric.
Steam and heat are essential to ease the fabric from tension and make the fabric
with adequate flexibility so that it can be molded to get the required contour.
3. Pressure – It is applied to change the form and increase the durability of the
molding. Pressure could be applied by means of a mechanical device or steam.
4. Drying – Subsequent to the steam and pressure application on the fabric, the
garment panel or finished garment must be dried and cooled; thus, the fabric can
return to its regular moisture content and steady condition. This could be done
by removing the surplus water from the fabric by means of a vacuum action which
cools it at the same time.
5. Time – The time period for which the garment is exposed to steam, pressure and
drying depends on the type of fabric being pressed and there will be an optimal
time period for each component.

Hand Irons:

Iron which is known commonly as iron box has been in existence for a very long
time with the traditional one being used with heat generated using charcoal. There were
also irons which were heated by gas flame inside the metal casting and it was mainly
used in touching up of men’s jackets. However, in recent times, steam and electric irons
are used commonly.

Fig: Hand iron

20
The two basic kinds of irons used today are:
1. Dry iron
2. Electric steam irons

Normally, hand irons are available in different shapes and weights:

• Narrow hand irons are used for seam opening on sleeves and trouser legs.
The wrinkle marks on the garment are evaded by the narrow sole
construction of the steam iron as well as curved and narrow ironing bucks.
• Wide ones for flat shapes
• Pointed shape
