Zippers for Beginners

Put your zipper foot forwards to take your sewing skills to the next level. Join me in my West Wales sewing studio to learn the basics of sewing zips.

Zippers for Beginners

Date: Sunday 22nd September
Location: West Wales, SA38 9BS

Time: 10am - 4:30pm
Price: £98

  • Sewing zippers can appear harder than it actually is, and with my Zippers for Beginners sewing class, you'll master the basics of sewing two types of zips in just one day!

  • Learn to sew both a centered zipper and an exposed zipper, and come away with a new cushion cover and a lined purse.

  • The zipper sewing techniques you'll learn in this class will easily transfer to dressmaking and other types of sewing, so you'll feel confident to take on more complex projects.

  • This sewing class is suitable for beginners with basic sewing skills, such as demonstrated in my Beginners Sewing Class.

What You'll Learn in Zippers for Beginners

  • how to sew a centered zipper, by sewing a cushion cover

  • how to sew an exposed zipper, by sewing a lined pouch

 

You will also get a demo on how to replace a zipper on a pair of trousers or a jacket and I will be answering common questions about zippers, including what to do when your zipper isn’t the right size for your project.

In the morning, we’ll begin with the zipped purse where you’ll have the opportunity to practice sewing a zip before inserting your actual zip into the purse.

 

In the afternoon, we’ll begin with the demo on how to replace a zipper and then we’ll cut and sew our cushion covers, inserting the zip.​

Spaces are limited to 7 participants per class to provide the ultimate learning experience​
