Fasteners

Fasteners 

• Fasteners are essential tools in sewing and dressmaking that hold pieces of fabric or garments together. They provide secure closures while allowing garments and accessories to be opened, adjusted, or removed easily.

Types of Fasteners and Their Uses

Hooks & Eyes

• Tiny discreet hooks paired with a loop (“eye”). Perfect for securing waistbands, necklines, or backs of dresses and costumes where a low-profile fastening is required.

Press Studs / Snap Fasteners

• Pairs of male/female components that snap together. Ideal for children’s wear, outerwear, bags, or any garment that benefits from a strong yet easy-to-use closure.

Clips & Dungaree-Style Fasteners

• Practical for overalls, suspender straps, or garments with detachable or adjustable sections. Useful in both functional and decorative applications.

Toggles, Buckles, Eyelets

• Decorative or statement fasteners. Toggles are often used on coats, buckles on belts or waistbands, and eyelets for lacing or drawstrings.

Velcro / Hook & Loop Tape

• Adjustable and reusable closures, commonly used in children’s garments, bags, or soft furnishings like cushion covers.

Snap Button Sets / Metallic Fasteners

• Durable and stylish fasteners for higher-end or tailored garments. Suitable for garments where aesthetics are as important as functionality.

Applications & Project Suggestions

• Garments & Dresses: Hooks & eyes for high necklines or hidden backs; press studs for quick openings; toggles for coat fronts.
