Buttons

Making personalised fastenings with self-covering buttons

Self-covering buttons allow you to wrap a blank in your chosen fabric, producing custom colour-matched fastenings to personalise garments and accessories. The fabric is cut to size, stretched over the front shell, and secured with an easy-to-fit snap-on back plate that locks the raw edges inside without needing specialist tools. Blanks are available in nylon, metal-topped, and white plastic styles, with sizes including 18mm, 22mm, 29mm, and 38mm to suit different project scales.

Choosing closures for tailoring, repairs, and decorative dressmaking

Selecting the right closure depends on the garment structure and the type of finish required across your sewing projects:

• Tailoring: Domed plastic blazer buttons featuring a traditional coat of arms provide classic styling for blazers and formal jackets.
• Denim: Dedicated metal jeans buttons provide the strong, secure attachment needed to hold heavy denim waistbands together.
• Mending: Mender spare button sets provide ready replacements to quickly fix everyday garments when original fastenings go missing.
• Decorative accents: Two-hole metal buttons in rose gold, alongside novelty daisy designs and wavy edge styles, add decorative interest across dressmaking, accessories, and crafts.
