How to make a fabric covered snap clip

Thank you, thank you very much for many many comments on my giveaway post.
I'm really happy (* v *)!!!! So I want to share other sewing tutorial with you!!!!


These days, I made some snap clips for my little niece.
So I want to tell you how I made the one of fabric covered.

I used 4 cm long snap clip. It is with a base to put a charm on it(But I don't need it for this.)

At first, I made a pattern from the clip. Put the clip on paper, and lined it.

Then, turn the clip out and check the red line of the picture. From here, the clip open.

Write the red line on the pattern.

Then cut one piece of bating as the line of pattern.
And cut two pieces of fabric with 3-5 mm allowance to the pattern. For the fabric, it's better to put the pattern in bias because to fold the clip good.


And for the under side fabric, cut the red line.

This time, I put adhesive interlining(cut as the pattern) on the upper fabric. It's because my batting was too thin.

Then, sew the allowance of the upper fabric with running stitch. After you should pull the thread, so please use the strong and enough length thread.
Don't cut the thread!


Put the batting and the snap clip on it and pull the thread putting the snap in the fabric.


Sew the allowance enfolding the clip.
Please be careful open the clip and not to fold the shorter flick(?<- Is this word correct???).


When I finished, it comes like this picture.


Then, put the fabric with the cut line on the other side to cover the stitching.


Sew the edge folding the allowance with blind stitch.


Finished!



It's easy to make it. Please try it!!!!



I also made some clips with covered buttons. They are easier than this tutorial.

Enjoy sewing small things!
