For fastenings on the waistbands of skirts or trousers, there are especially strong hooks and loops of various widths (2).

AT THE EDGES OF THE CLAPES BUTT

Hooks and loops are sewn onto the wrong side of the product, with the end of the hook located almost at the very edge of the fastener, and the loop protrudes slightly beyond the edge. The needle punctures should not be visible on the front side of the fabric (3).

Buttons

Sew-on snaps come in different sizes, made of metal - black and nickel-plated (silver) or plastic. On the buttoned edges of the clasp, such buttons are not visible from the outside. The fastening with buttons is also made on double-folded material reinforced with interlining. The upper part of the button (with the rod) is sewn on the wrong side of the upper edge of the fastener, the lower part of the button (with the cup) is sewn on the front side of the lower edge of the fastener.

HOW TO SEW A BUTTON

To do this, rub the rod of the upper part of the button with chalk and press it onto the lower edge of the fastener. If the chalk point on the fabric is not visible, then you should pierce the rod with a pin and insert it into the lower edge of the fastener (5). Mark the puncture point with a pin.

Fastening tape

There are three types of this braid: for a butt fastener - braid with hooks and loops, for an overlap fastener - braid with buttons and Velcro contact tape.

HOOK AND LOOP BRAND (8) consists of two parts, sewn under the edges of the fastener on the wrong side of the product, while the hooks should be covered by the edge of the fabric. The loops may extend slightly beyond the edge and must line up exactly with the hooks.

BAND WITH BUTTONS (9) consists of two parts: one with the upper parts of the buttons, the other with the lower parts. The braid with the upper parts of the buttons is sewn on the wrong side of the upper edge of the fastener, the braid with the lower parts of the buttons is sewn on the front side of the lower edge of the fastener.

How to sew a trouser hook correctly? Although they say trouser hooks, they can be used as fasteners on a wide variety of skirts, shorts, raincoats, jackets, etc. These hooks are already much stronger, if I may say so, heavier than simple sewing hooks and can hold the edges of the fastener on products made of very durable and thick fabrics. Like simple sew-on hooks and loops, trouser hooks are made by different manufacturers, from different metals, in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. But trouser hooks have evolved much more than simple sewing hooks, and are already more diverse in the composition of components and methods of attachment to the product. Today there are the following types of trouser hooks: sew-on trouser hook with eyes; sew-on trouser hook with adjustable loops; hook - button; punched trouser hook with spikes. Sew-on trouser hook with eyes. All those trouser hooks, sew-on ones, with eyes, which can be purchased in various specialized stores selling sewing accessories, are very different from each other in appearance. And there may be a different number of eyes for which such a hook is attached to the product. And 5, and 6, and 7 pieces. But all trouser hooks are sewn on, with eyes, and always consist of only two parts. The first detail is the hook itself. This is usually a differently curved metal plate. The second part is the loop. A narrow metal plate is a frame, significantly smaller in size than the first. And any pair of such trouser hooks is sewn to the product like this. Small, round eyes are sewn with 3-4 stitches, and large oblong eyes with rows of parallel stitches that are laid close to each other. Trouser hooks, sew-on, with eyes, are intended for making only a hidden fastener and only an overlapping fastener. And they are always sewn on so that they are not visible from the front side. Such hooks act as an addition to the zipper at the waist line, on the belt. They protect the zipper from damage and divergence of its sides during operation. Let's now see how such a pair is located directly on the product. How to sew on trouser hooks correctly? 1. First, a needle and thread, matched to each other and to the main color tone of the product, are passed through the upper layers of the material, at the place where the hook will be located. With this first stitch you need to bring the end of the thread inside the material, and then, with a few stitches back, secure the thread to the product. First, on the left, inner side of the belt, a hook is sewn (when viewed from the front side). 2. Then, the loop needs to be hooked onto the hook. It's like they're already working. 3. And holding the loop with your fingers, close the zipper all the way. Or vice versa, first close it and then insert a loop into the hook. Doesn't matter. 4. “Terrain”, at the other end of the belt, where the loop is “reprinted” and there is a place to which it needs to be attached. First, with pins so that the loop does not move, and then with a needle and thread, stitches, it is secured to this place. This is how a trouser hook with eyes is sewn on, in addition to the zipper, which is located on clothing models in the seam, in the center. On trousers and other types of clothing, where the zipper is slightly shifted to the left side of the center (when viewed from the front side), such a hook is made in a similar way. Only, due to the fact that the zipper in such fasteners is moved, the loop moves a little to the side from it. If such hooks completely replace a conventional fastener (buttons, zipper), then the line of engagement of the hook with the loop should be located on the product along the line of the middle of the fastener. On men's clothing, where the edges of the fastener overlap each other from left to right, trouser hooks are made in exactly the same way, but only in a mirror image. How many sewing trouser hooks with eyes to place on the product depends on the width of the belt, the shape and length of both of its ends.

Hook and eye are used to fasten overlapping edges of fabric so that the join is not noticeable. In this article you will learn how to sew a hook and eyelet. At the beginning of the work, secure the double thread to the fabric under the hook for strength with two closely spaced stitches in the opposite direction. The hook is positioned towards the edge of the fabric, and its tip should not reach the edge by 3 mm.

How to sew a hook with a rounded eyelet?

Sew around each hole on the hook, being careful not to pierce all the way through the fabric. Make three stitches over the neck of the hook to attach it, and a few stitches in the opposite direction next to the hook.

Position the loop so that the curve extends 3mm beyond the edge of the fabric. Fasten the thread. Sew a loop through each hole and through each edge of the fabric.

Fasten the hook to the loop. The processed edges of the two parts of the product should meet very evenly so that the fabric does not bulge and parts of the hook are not visible from the front side.

Straight loop

Sew the hook to the wrong side of the overlapping edge so that its tips do not reach the edge of the fabric by 3.mm. Close the opening and mark the location of the eyelet with a pin on the right side of the exposed bottom edge (top).

Sew through the first hole in the loop. Push the needle between the layers of fabric to the second hole and sew through it. Push the needle into the location of the next stitch and stitch. Fasten the thread (top).

Hook with crossbar

Place the hook on the back of the overlapping stitch 3mm from the edge so that the crossbar is covered when the hook is closed. Make several stitches through each hole.

Close the cut and place the ends of the waistband. Place the bar on the front side of the waistband so that it becomes the paired part of the hook. Sew through the holes and secure with a few stitches.

Covered hook and eye

Covered hooks and eyelets add a neat finish and are used where they can be seen. Sew on the hook with a thread of a suitable color, then use the same thread to sew around the loop (at the top), without catching the fabric under the crossbar.

Stitching for buttonholes

Buttonhole stitch provides a warped look to hooks, loops, bars and snaps. Position the clasp as usual and sew around the hole using closely spaced buttonhole stitches (at the top), pulling the knots into the fabric.

Hooks and loops always use there. where it is necessary to fasten the fastener firmly, but not noticeably from the front side of the product. The clasp is made on double-folded material reinforced with interlining.

ON LAPED EDGES

For fastenings on the waistbands of skirts or trousers, there are especially strong hooks and loops of various widths (2).

Buttons

Sew on buttons They come in different sizes, made of metal - black and nickel-plated (silver color) or made of plastic.

HOW TO SEW A BUTTON

For those who want to have an impressive fastener, but do not want to overcast loops and sew on buttons, there are punching buttons various colors and sizes, in the form of ready-made sets that are sold in haberdashery stores.

These buttons can be punched using a hammer (6) or even faster and easier - using special pliers (7). Exact instructions are included with each kit.

IMPORTANT: The places where the buttons are attached should be marked on both edges of the fastener. Each punched button always consists of two upper and two lower parts. When punching parts of the button, make sure that the cap of the top of the button is on the front side of the top edge of the clasp, the shank is on the back side of the top edge of the clasp, the bottom plate of the button is on the back side of the bottom edge of the clasp, and the cup is on the front side of the bottom edge of the clasp .

Fastening tape

There are three types of this braid: for a butt fastener - braid with hooks and loops, for an overlap fastener - braid with buttons and Velcro contact tape.

HOOK AND LOOP BRAND (8) consists of two parts, sewn under the edges of the fastener from the wrong side of the product, while the hooks should be covered by the edge of the fabric. The loops may extend slightly beyond the edge and must line up exactly with the hooks.

BRAND WITH BUTTONS (9) consists of two parts: one with the upper parts of the buttons, the other with the lower parts. The braid with the upper parts of the buttons is sewn on the wrong side of the upper edge of the fastener, the braid with the lower parts of the buttons is sewn on the front side of the lower edge of the fastener. In this case, you need to ensure that the parts of the button match.

VELCRO CONTACT TAPE (10) also consists of two parts: one part of the braid has a grippy surface and is sewn onto the front side of the lower edge of the fastener. The other part of the braid has a fleecy surface and is sewn onto the wrong side of the upper edge of the fastener.

The front part of the button is installed together with the hook
punch a hole.
Next, if necessary (and this is most often), slightly expand the cylindrical part of the button using a hammer and a dowel (punch or punch).
And directly install the hook with the available nozzle.

It may well happen that the cylindrical part of the button has not fully flared and some nicks and irregularities remain.
Correct this error using a flat screwdriver
Place the screwdriver inside the hook and press it further with the nozzle. If you don't have a screwdriver handy, insert a coin. The flaring area is larger and, as a result, the strength of the installed part increases.
Then we move on to installing the lower part We install using the same nozzle with which we installed the hook itself. As a lower stand we use an attachment for installing any button

If you do not have enough parts to install the hook kit, you can use parts from button No. 61 (ring)
If the cylindrical part of the part turns out to be longer than necessary, then it should be shortened. See above how the button was shortened.
In case of poor-quality flaring, it is enough to place a screwdriver blade and press it again.

Turkish hooks are installed in the same way.
Most often you have to do repairs: i.e. installing one of the hook parts. Orders for new products are rare. Many customers simply do not know that instead of a button on a belt (pants, skirts) you can install a hook.

The hook on the trousers holds more load than the button. Try to convince customers of this and replace the button with a hook.
