to fasten kids’ garments,
as they’re a little less fiddly
for small fingers. When you
attach two-part poppers
to fabric, one should sit on
the wrong side of the upper
layer, and the other piece
should sit on right side
of the lower one. Secure
each one individually,
making sure they align,
with a stitch through each
hole; then stitch through
each hole again to ensure
a firm attachment to the
knitted fabric. You can put
some tailors’ chalk on the
protruding part and press
it onto the fabric where
the bottom popper will
sit to mark its position.Perfecting
