Sew-on snap fasteners, also known as press studs, offer a simple and reliable way to create neat closures on handmade garments and textile projects. These silver-coloured metal snap fasteners from Archer Haberdashery stitch directly onto fabric, making them a good choice when you want a traditional and discreet finish.
Because you sew them in place by hand, these snap fasteners work well on delicate fabrics, repairs, and custom projects. They are commonly used on clothing, accessories, soft furnishings, and everyday sewing around the home. In addition, they suit makers who prefer to avoid using plastic fasteners in their work. This aligns with our preference for traditional, long-lasting materials in everyday sewing.
These snap fasteners also suit beginners as well as more experienced sewists. Learning how to attach a sew-on snap is often one of the first fastening skills in hand sewing. As a result, these are easy to place, align, and secure using basic stitches.
Each pack includes matching pairs of ball and socket fasteners. They come supplied in a reusable box, which makes it easy to store unused snaps neatly and keep different sizes organised between projects.
