Mastering Zips

Your tutor will demonstrate sewing an invisible zip and a lapped zip as well as showing examples of the type of use in clothing.

Then it will be your turn to give it a go, using all the techniques you have seen demonstrated. Don’t worry, you will not be left to your own devices, Alison will walk you through each step of the process and you will discover how easy it can be to insert zips once you know the steps.

• Do you avoid making garments that have a zip fastening?
• Have you sewn clothes but never sewn a zip?
• Do you have a fear of sewing zips?
• Is it totally hit or miss when you insert a zip?
• When you sew a zip do you just hope and pray that it goes right?

If any of these applies to you, then this workshop is designed just for you.

You must already know how to use a sewing machine to do this workshop and be aged 16 and over.

Just yourself and a willingness to learn, all the tools & materials needed for this workshop are included. Don't forget your glasses though if you need them.

Your zip samples of an invisible zip and a lapped zip, a detailed handout with step by step instructions, the skills & knowledge you have gained, and hopefully a new excitement to go and make clothes with zips!
