Use a Tailors Clapper

Written By ZARAMIA AVA

Ever wondered how to get the wonderfully neat pleats and seams you see in tailored clothing? A tailor’s clapper is a smooth block of wood that can be used to get a perfect finish.

First press with a hot steam iron then remove the iron and press the clapper on to the fabric. The hardwood block absorbs the heat and moisture from the clothing fixing the seam or pleat crisply.

Clappers usually have rounded edges for a comfy grip. You can get them from Etsy, Dunelm and haberdashers.

Happy Sewing!
