    I already replaced the snaps on my winter coat with larger snaps because the brass snaps were constantly popping open. The new ones are great.
    It took a little less than an hour to do the replacement of six snap buttons. Thank you for your guidance.

    After a long day working at the drycleaners, I asked for help at Hobby Lobby to try and fix a snap for a customer. Sadly, I was to tired to think straight and the employee didn't know how to help me.
    So, thanks for this video! I sadly cannot find those tools in my area, so I am probably going to have to find someone else to fix the snap for the customer so they aren't waiting on me to get a delivery.

      You'll need to do a small repair of the area before installing a new snap. Find a matching thread color, and either use a sewing machine to stitch back and forth over the area to reinforce it, or hand sew your fabric together as best you can.

      Thanks! I'm teaching myself to hand sew and embroider like found on 1800's dresses and coats. So far, my fingers are still intact. You're right. My grandma was bad ass, but she didn't know it. She could just look at a coat in the windows of say, Filene’s, Newmark's or Jordan Marsh. Study it carefully. Go home and copy the coat exactly without a pattern. Holy Mother Of Puppies! WAWAK ROCKS! I set up an account there and plan to buy a lot!. I've built enough courage to buy the snaps and the tools needed for my cape. When my mom passed, I got my cape I had lent her back. For some Brain-Fart reason, the nursing home laundry people had removed all the snaps and replaced them with Velcro. Needless to say I was mad as hell! :)

    Great video! I have a question though. I have many baseball satin jackets. The snaps already lost they’re color and need to be changed, but my issue is that type of fabric is probably very easy to rip or cut or damage bc it doesn’t any resistance to pull or pushing the snaps around I imagine, so would you recommend me to find someone to do it or do you think i could try it by myself?
    Thank you so much!

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  3 роки тому +3

      I think that's a question for you to answer. How comfortable do you feel with it? If the snap is functioning properly and you just want to change the color, maybe look into getting some nail polish to touch up the color instead of replacing the snaps.

    The best hammer for striking a punch is a Ball peen hammer. They come in different oz so the weight will give you more downward force for different levels of jobs. 16 oz should be enough for snaps but 24 oz might do it in one strike. I hope this helps and thank you for the video. 🙏

    • @TailorItYourself

      Yes, I think that should work as long as the area you're adding the snap to isn't too thick. If it's too thick there may not be enough length on the parts to properly lock together when you hammer them.

    Bought a jacket with a busted snap. It was half priced, so figured I would buy it anyway and fix it with the provided parts. Now I see I don't have the tools, plus the snap hole is only part way through the winter coat, so would require ripping stitches and resewing them after finished. Good to see how to do it though!

    Hey there! I recently got a jacket and I realized that the snap is like in…3 sections I guess because it has a detachable scarf as an accessory. So…it has your standard spring snap look to it, but the female side snaps into another piece that’s on the inside of the jacket and quite frankly, I don’t want to cut the jacket open in order to fix this…what else can I do?

      You could try bending the little parallel bars of the spring snap to try to make the connection tighter. But you may just have to replace the snap.

      Not really. They're designed to lock the pieces together. Without them you'll just smash the parts and they won't hold.

    Hi, I have a question. My jacket has metal spring caps, it's the last button on the bottom, it's male spring cap is fine, and it's only the female spring cap that broke out, and some of the fabric is gone too, but it doesn't have a button on the exterior, just the fabric that it's made out of. Is it possible that you replace the female spring cap, and repair the fabric that was lost? Thank you.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  2 роки тому +1

      There is a button part, it's just in between the layers of the placket. You'll need to open that up, repair the fabric, reinstall a new snap, and then close the placket. Or you could just do it quick and dirty and put the new snap through the placket, but the button portion of the snap will be visible on the outside of the jacket.

      You're asking how to make a coverall into a jacket? That's more redesigning than alterations. I couldn't say exactly what you need to do without seeing how the garment is constructed, but it will be a fairly advanced process.

    If I am adding a liner to a jacket, do I want to pre punch a hole and if so, is there a special tool for that?

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  2 роки тому +1

      Any time you're adding a snap where there wasn't before you'll need to punch a hole through the fabric to make room for the hardware. You can do it with a sharp scissors if you're careful, but otherwise you can buy a rotary punch at any hardware store that will give you a few size holes to choose from.
