Over the course of several centuries, suspenders periodically come into fashion, then go out of it. Supporting the waistband of the trousers, they take on the function of the belt and do not allow the trousers to fall off. This article will show you how to do criss-cross back braces as well as D-ring braces. Even if they go out of fashion again, they can always be worn under a suit. The process of working on such an easy sewing project will be a pleasure for you.

Steps

Part 1

Prepare the necessary materials. Buy about 1.8-3.6m thick 25mm wide elastic band for suspenders (the specific length depends on your height and weight), two buckles and four special clips. All this you can find in the fabric store. You will also need scissors, tailor's pins, a centimeter tape, a sewing machine, or a regular needle and thread.

Cut the elastic into two equal parts. The two lengths of elastic for suspenders should be slightly longer than the required final size, as the length of the straps will be adjusted by the buckles.

• To prevent the elastic from being too short, measure yourself first. Grab the end of the measuring tape and place it at the front of your waist.
• Ask someone to throw the measuring tape over your shoulder and also attach it to your waist, but already on your back.
• Add 15-30 cm to the received measure to make the suspenders adjustable. You will need two pieces of elastic of exactly this length.

1. Attach both pieces of elastic with one of the ends to the waistband of the trousers in front. Hold the ends of the elastic bands at waist level (where they will later be fastened).

   Throw both elastic bands over your shoulders. Have someone help you put the elastic bands over your shoulders.

   Cross the elastic at the back. Ask an assistant to attach the pieces of elastic bands to the waistband of the trousers at the back. In this case, the straps on the back should go towards each other in order to cross each other. The resulting cross will be located in the lumbar region.

   • After this visual check, remove the elastic bands from the shoulders and proceed to the process of installing the buckles and clips.

2. Wrap the end of the elastic around the center bar of the buckle and sew. Fold the protruding end of the elastic back over the center bar of the buckle, and then sew it up in that position.

   Put the first clip on the same strap. Insert the free end of the webbing into the loop of the braces clip, and then fold it up to the main length of the elastic. Please note that the clip itself should stick out on the opposite side of the elastic than the one on which you bent and hemmed the first end with the buckle.

   Pass the free end of the strap through the buckle. Take the free end of the elastic band and thread it through the buckle. First swipe it from bottom to top, and then from top to bottom and pull it out.

   • This will give you an adjustable front end of the strap.

3. Attach the second clip to the free end of the strap. Insert the still free end of the elastic into the hole in the second clip and tuck it in. Note that the clip should be located on the front side of the strap of the braces, and the elastic band should be on the wrong side.

   Secure the end of the elastic with a pin. Take a tailor's pin and stab the hem of the elastic band with it. The pin will hold the elastic in place while you sew it up.

   Sew the tucked end of the elastic. Take advantage sewing machine or a regular needle and thread to sew the second end of the strap. Be sure to back-tack at the very beginning and at the end of the stitching, as it is your stitches that will hold the clip on the strap.

   Repeat the procedure with the second strap. Repeat the same procedure with the remaining strap, buckle and clips. Now you have two ready-made suspender straps.

Part 3

Attach the rear strap clips to the waistband of your pants. Wear well-fitting trousers. Fasten the back clips of both straps to the waistband of your trousers.

Cross the straps. Throw the straps over your shoulders, crossing them on your back.

Attach the front clips of the suspenders to your trousers. Pull the free ends of the straps hanging from the shoulders to the belt. Fasten the front clips of the braces on the trousers at the front.

Pin off the straps on the back at the crossing point. Have an assistant pin the straps of the braces crossed at the back with a pin. The pin will fix the location of the cross, which must be stitched.

Sew the cross of the suspenders. First unfasten all the clips and remove the suspenders. Use a sewing machine or a simple needle and thread to sew a chain of stitches in the shape of a diamond at the crossing point of the straps, which will fix the cross. Each side of this diamond will contain approximately five stitches.

Part 4

Gather the required materials. For suspenders that meet at the back on a D-ring or even a regular ring, you will need the following: 1.8-3.6 m thick elastic for 25 mm wide suspenders (it all depends on your height and weight), one D-ring or a round ring, three special clips, a needle, thread and scissors. Almost everything you need can be purchased in the sewing accessories department of the fabric store. If the fabric store does not have D-shaped or ordinary rings You can find them at the hardware store.

Lengthening or shortening your trouser suspenders is easy!

There is such a story.
During the construction of St. Petersburg, Peter the Great lost a lot of weight. So much so that his pants just started to fall off.

After several unsuccessful attempts to tie them with a rope, he ordered his courtiers to stretch this rope over their shoulders, and fasten them with copper buttons sewn onto the trousers in front. And so the first braces were born.

How reliable this story is, I have no right to judge, but what suspenders for trousers - a useful thing I agree one hundred percent!

I am convinced of this every time I dress my son with. Any pants dressed without suspenders(especially the classic cut) do not stick to his "skinny" body.

But, recently I encountered such a difficulty: it became impossible to choose children's braces for my very grown up son - they are all small, and adult braces, not only are 2-3 times more expensive than children's ones, but also large. What to do?

To the aid, as usual, came ingenuity. I decided to redo the small size children's suspenders (already available) by increasing their length. You can do this in 15 minutes. So.

1. First I found a regular gum, suitable width (I didn’t experiment much with color - black suits gray).

2. I measured my son by figuring out the right middle back of the braces.

3. Ripped off the old(short) middle part, cut off the clip.

4. Having inserted into the clamp prepared a piece of elastic, stitched it along a short cut.

5. Then I sewed upper part rubber bands into the connecting part of the suspenders, stitching along the existing lines. Everything is ready!

The photo shows the difference between the length of the middle part of the braces, so to speak, with the naked eye.

By the way, according to the same principle Can you make your own suspenders?, using applied materials from old braces or buying all the accessories in the store. Fortunately, in stores you can now buy various types of colored gum, with an unusual and beautiful pattern.

Believe me, the savings are significant, and you will spend incredibly little time (I think, much less than looking for the braces you need in stores). Especially since Suspenders now serve not only to support trousers, but are also stylish accessory . Fantasize and look at old things with a “fresh” look.
