Snaps are an excellent closure method. I often use them in jackets where I do not want to have buttons, or beneath buttons if I am using fabric that would be difficult to put a buttonhole into. You can take a look at my galleries “Variations on a Jacket” and “Other Jackets” for examples. See my online video to learn how to sew snaps onto garments.

These snaps are easy to sew on. The under side is plain metal with fairly large holes that I "feel around" for with my needle. I use a double strand of thread, passing through each hole about 3 times. It works best to knot the thread after each pass around the hole by going through the thread loop that forms. I use 4 holes unless I am making a coat, in which case I use more.
