What is It

APPLY FINISHING TOUCHES ON LADIES’ TROUSERS

Fasteners add function and details to any garment. The most common fasteners are
snaps, self gripping devices, and hooks and eyes.

The fastener used will depend on the

 garment fabric
 the type of garment
 the position and type of opening
 the amount of stress the fastener will experience
 and the effect you want to create.

3
For example, a delicate fabric may call for covered snaps while rugged active wear
needs a heavy-duty snap fastener.
There are many types of fastening available. Some of them are purely
functional while others are more decorative as well as practical. Most fastenings are
hand stitched in place. Permanent fastenings, such as stitching and fusing, create
form and shape in tailored garments.

Trousers need not be over-decorated with embellishment except for those

pants worn during presentations or shows. There are just some embellishments and
decorations which we can employ in our trousers. Trousers are formal wear that is
why, there is no need to put many decorations in it.

TYPES OF FASTENERS
Buttons
Buttons are one of the oldest forms of fastening. They come in many shapes and
sizes, and can be made from a variety of materials including shell, bone, plastic,
nylon, and metal. Buttons are sewn to the fabric either through holes on their face,
or through a hole in stalk called a shank, which is on the back. Buttons are normally
sewn on by hand, although a two-hole button can be sewn on by machine.

a. Sew-Through Button
a. 2-Hole button- This is the most
popular type of button and
requires a thread shank to be
made when sewing in place. A
toothpick will help you to sew on
this type of button.

b. 4-hole button - This is stitched in the same way as

for a two-hole button except that the threads make
an X over the button on the front.

c. Shanked Button- when sewing this type of button in

place, use a toothpick under the button to enable you
to make a thread shank on the underside of the
fabric.

Snap Fastener
Snap Fasteners are used where a lightweight fastening is needed. They are available
in a black or silver metal finish in a range of sizes. Small, clear plastic snaps may be
used on fine fabrics. There are many types of non-sew snap with decorative metal or
colored caps, which are attached using a special tool or a hammer.

4
 a. Sew-on snap fasteners are available in range of sizes, non-sew
snaps provide an alternative to button holes on casual
garments.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.

b. Non-sew 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.

c. Non-sew 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 .

Hook and Eye

Hooks are versatile fasteners that can fit into both straight bars and round eyes, and
are strong enough not to open under stress. They are made in different sizes and
strengths, and are frequently used on waistbands and at the top of the zipper
openings. Sew-on snap fasteners are available in range of sizes, and non-sew snaps
provide an alternative to buttonholes on casual garments. Hook-and-loop fasteners,
usually cut from a strip, are easy to open and close and are often used for garment
detail such as cuffs, and in home furnishings

a. Standard hook and eye These fasteners have looped eye

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

b. Covered hook and eye This set has a looped eye. It is

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

c. 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.

d. Non- stitch hook and bar - This sturdy set is used on

pants and skirt waistbands

5
4. HOOK AND LOOPS

The first component features tiny hooks, the second features smaller loops. When
the two are pressed together the hooks catch in the loops and the two pieces fasten
or bind temporarily. When separated, by pulling or peeling the two surfaces apart,
the strips make a distinctive "ripping" sound.

Hook-and-loops fasteners, usually cut from a strip, are easy to open and close and
are often used for garments details such as cuffs and in home furnishing.

Zipper
The zipper is probably the most used of all fastenings. There are many types
available, in 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.

FINISHING TOUCHES

1. Hemming Stitches

Machine Sewing: Load your bobbin and top spool with the same color of thread. The
thread should match as closely as possible with the original thread used on the
pants. For a simple hem with straight stitching, set your machine for a small to
medium straight stitch. In this picture, notice that the stitch width lever is set to the
extreme left position. Fold the hem so that the cut edge is folded in toward the crease.
Begin stitching 1/8 inch from the top of the hem and go all the way round.

6
 STITCH LENGTH

Straight stitching is used for jeans or for the lining of dress pants. The seam side
of pant linings normally faces the seam side of the pants so that the interior and the
exterior of the pants both present the finished side. Pant linings are usually sewn
with the pants right side out, but with the pant leg gathered toward the crotch so
that the lining extends enough for sewing.

For blind stitching, set the stitch width and the stitch pattern to the correct position.
Here, the stitch width lever has been set to the middle position.

A machine blind stitch consists of three or four straight stitches that sew the inside
hem followed by a sideway stitch that attaches the inside hem to the pant leg by just
a thread. This picture shows a sewing machine that uses a cam and dial to select the
sewing pattern. For cam number 1, the dial has to be set at position B to select the
blind stitch which is illustrated in gray color on the side of the machine under the
letter B. Read the instruction manual for your own sewing machine to determine how
to select the stitch pattern.

7
Sewing the blind hem stitch. Working with the pants inside out, fold the hem so
that the cut edge is folded toward the crease as for the straight hem, but then fold
the final edge toward inside of the cuff leaving 1/8 inch to start sewing. The
photograph illustrated above is the technique for folding the material.

Folding the material for a blind hem stitch. This photograph shows how the cut
end of the pants cuff is folded toward the inside of the ironed crease; the pant leg is
folded once more leaving a 1/8-inch offset for machine blind stitching. For some
materials, it is necessary to iron the fold toward the inside of the previously ironed
crease to make the sewing easier and more accurate.

The material is in position for blind stitching. Notice that the inner seam is offset
about 1/8 inch to the right of the fold in the pant leg.

8
1. ATTACHING FASTENERS

ATTACHING HOOK-AND-EYE FASTENER

Hook and looped eye

1. Stitch around each hole on the hook, without
stitching through to the right side. Take two or
three stitches over the neck of the hook to secure
it. Finish with backstitches near the hook.

2. Position the eye so that the loop projects over the

fabric edge by about 1/8 in (3mm). Fasten the
thread securely. Stitch around each hole. Stitch
over each side of the eye inside the fabric.

9
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 positions 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.

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 features one side on the
seam- the left-hand side- covering the teeth of the zipper to conceal them.

10
1. Sew the seam, leaving
enough if the seam open
to accommodate the
zipper.

2. Secure the end of the

stitches.

3. Insert the right-hand

side of the zipper first. Fold back the right-hand seam allowance by 1/2 in (1.3cm).
This folded edge is not in line with the seam.

4. Place the folded edge against the

zipper teeth and baste.

5. Using the zipper foot, sew along the

baste line to secure the zipper tape
to the fabric. Sew from the bottom of
the zipper to the top.

6. Fold back the left-hand seam

allowance by 5/6in (1.5cm) and
press. Place the folded edge over the
sewn line of the other side. Pin and
then hand baste along fold line.

7. Starting at the bottom of the

zipper, sew across from the
center seamline and then
up the side of the zipper.
The finished zipper should
have the teeth covered by
the fabric.

11
FACED FLY-FRONT ZIPPER
Whether it be for a classic pair of pants or a pair of jeans, a fly front is the
most common technique for inserting a pant zipper. The zipper usually has a facing
behind it to prevent the zipper teeth from catching.
