If you like the look of buttons but hate making buttonholes, covering KAM snaps with fabric is a great alternative.
Your project will be more stylish with the look of fabric buttons rather than a piece of plastic.

I always moisten the fabric when making covered buttons, so that it will tighten as it dries. I also use two rows of tiny gathering stitches to ensure uniformity and a smoother edge around the button.

Angela, you make so much possible! I'm trying to narrow a 2 and1/2" wide cotton cuff by folding it in half to the inside and hand sewing to attach. The difficulty was how to put in a new buttonhole through so many layers - it's a shiny type of cotton and I didn't want to ruin it. Then I thought 'snaps'! But snaps would cheapen the overall look of the crochet/lacy blouse. Then you come up with this practical, simple technique! It is so helpful, as always. Thank you 🌷 🌷 🌷 💐
