Introduction
After a long time of use, the buckles or buckle loops can show sign of damage. These are often very simple to replace and repair, and in this guide we will demonstrate a common example from ski trousers.
➡️Before you get started, please check the safety disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
What you need
-
-
Locate the part of buckle that needs fixing.
-
Note: if your buckle has actually broken or snapped, use a "seam ripper" tool, or small pair of scissors to carefully cut the threads holding the seam together. Then remove the defective buckle and obtain a replacement.
-
-
-
-
Insert the buckle in the fabric loop.
-
Check that the position is correct, and that the other half of the buckle will clip on correctly.
-
Note: It is easy to sew the clip in back-to-front - so one extra check before stitching is worthwhile!
-
-
-
Fix the buckle in place and use the sewing machine to make a straight stitch from one end to the other.
-
Repeat the process 1-2 times for extra durability; and add a lock stitch on both ends.
