Inspiration Runway: Toggle closures with trimmings by Andrew GN, Altuzarra and Elie Saab.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The classic toggle closure<\/strong> features two ends, one with a loop and one with a button or t-shaped piece that slips into the loop. It is believed that this button shape is the oldest form of today’s button. Toggle closures are usually used in jackets and coats – especially the classic duffle coat – as well as hunting apparel and costumes. A particularly noble variant of this closure is the toggle closure made with trimmings. However, these artful, handcrafted jewelry closures can be more frequently found on blouses, dresses, blazers and jackets. The classic toggle closure can be done relatively quick and easy. We also offer a step-by-step guide for the variant with trimmings.<\/p>\n

This article is an excerpt from the reference book\u00a0 Atelier – Fachwissen aus der Praxis – Teil 1<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>In this book you will find many more instructions on textile processing and tutorials on decorative jewelry techniques.<\/p>\n

Sewing a Toggle Closures<\/h1>\n

\"Knebelverschluss<\/p>\n

If a jacket closure is processed edge to edge and the model allows a seam parallel to the center, a decorative toggle closure can be sewn with a tight cord very quickly. The cord size depends on the fabric quality and toggle shape.<\/p>\n

Stitch the cord onto the seam allowance at the specified intervals, create a loop projecting on the edge and sew the other end with a distance of 1 cm onto the seam allowance. After closing the seam, the cord is crossed over. The upper cord must always come from the same direction. The crossing point is invisibly connected to itself and the resulting loop is sewn so firmly onto the fabric that only the front part remains as an opening for the toggle. For the underlap, less cord length is needed. The loop extends only to the edge, is sewn firmly and completed with the toggle.<\/p>\n

This technique is very popular in the current folklore trend. Clothes can be decorated in an Asian- look or Western- style. It can always be found in historical clothing or local costumes. It is very effective as a back yoke, cuffs or hem decoration, when harmoniously matched in color. Distribution and arrangement is model-related. Variations enrich the overall picture.<\/p>\n
