Simple Decoration and Closure

- Functional Closure: They can close open-front garments.
- Example: Overlapping the edges of an open cardigan and securing with a stick pin.
Step-by-Step Guide
Here's how to practically use a stick pin for fastening:
- Overlap the edges: Bring the two edges of the garment you want to close together, slightly overlapping them.
- Insert the pin: Carefully push the stick pin through both layers of fabric.
- Secure the pin: Ensure the pin's point is securely fastened on the underside of the fabric to prevent it from poking or falling out.
Important Considerations
- Fabric Type: Be mindful of the fabric. Delicate materials may be prone to damage from pins.
- Safety: Always secure the pin properly to avoid accidental pricks.
- Placement: Consider the aesthetic appeal and functionality when choosing the placement of the pin.
