  Step 1

  You only need a couple supplies for this project: 2 sets of sew on snaps, narrow ribbon, scissors, needle and thread and your sewing machine. Oh, and your garment!

• 

  Step 2

  First, stitch the bottom part of the snap to your shirt/dress on the inside of the shoulder seam. I'm sewing it on to a facing but you can also sew to the lining or the seam allowances, just don't stitch through to the outside.

  Start with your knot underneath the facing/seam allowance if you can, you want to reduce bulk around the snap so the snaps can hold together well. I made a basic blanket stitch around my snap and tied my knot under the facing when I finished.

  Step 3

  Next cut a 2.5" length of ribbon (more if you've got really wide bra straps, less if you're working on a tank top or something with narrow shoulder straps), thread it through the upper snap, and match up the edges of the ribbon.

• 

  Step 4

  Attach the upper snap to the bottom snap and pin the ribbon flat along the shoulder seam.

• 

  Step 5

  Using a short, narrow zig zag stitch, sew over the ribbon close to the edges. Don't stitch across more than two or three times or else you risk putting too many holes in the ribbon. Trim your ribbon ends if needed.

  Repeat for the other shoulder.

  Step 6

  Now when you wear your dress/top you can unsnap your carrier, tuck your bra strap under and snap it all back in place.
