How to Attach a Cloak Clasp in 8 Steps
Follow these tips to help you with your cloak clasp installation.
1. Gather your basic sewing tools: Sewing requires a few tools. You’ll need a needle, thread, and a pair of small scissors—these sewing supplies are standard in sewing kits.
2. Thread your needle: Choose a thread color that compliments your cloak fabric. Work your thread through the eye of the needle. Instead of leaving a tail and tying a knot at the end of the single thread, feed the thread all the way through the needle so that the two ends of the thread are equal in length, creating a double thread. Pull a few inches of thread and wrap the ends of the thread tails around your index finger a few times and gently roll off with your thumb to create a knot tying the two ends of the thread together.
3. Choose a spot for your Sheldon Pewter Cloak Clasp: Each clasp has 3 sewing points. Locate where you want to place your cloak clasp, making sure it is on the right side of the fabric. Location will vary based on your personal preference. You may want to pin it in place and try it on to see on how snug you want your garment around your neck. It’s helpful to measure down from the neckline and mark the fabric on both sides to make sure that your clasp is even and lays properly when the cloak is worn.
4. Place your clasp on the fabric: Starting at the underside of the garment, guide your sewing needle through the first hole of the clasp. After pulling the needle and thread through the fabric and clasp attachment hole, angle your needle downward and push through the fabric on the outside edge of the clasp attachment hole. Your needle and thread should come out of the underside of the garment.
5. Continue sewing: Guide your needle through the clasp attachment hole and garment six more times or until secure.
6. Secure and cut off the excess thread: To tie off the thread, feed the needle through the stitches on the back of the fabric and then tie a knot by guiding the needle through the loop. Do this two or three times before cutting the thread.
7. Repeat this process: Continue with the next 2 attachment points then begin on the other side making sure the 2 sides of the clasps align and are straight on the fabric.
8. Try on your garment: And smile.
