TELL ME MORE

So you’ve been learning how to make your own clothes, but so far haven’t made any garments with zips. Then this is the class for you! We will teach you all the basic techniques you’ll need to start sewing zips and we will cover 3 different types of zips: Centered zip, exposed zip, invisible zip. All the supplies for this class are included in the price, and you will receive a course booklet and a folder to store your zip samples in.

TECHNIQUES YOU WILL LEARN

Centered zip
Exposed zip
Invisible zip

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?

Everything is included. You will receive the samples pre-cut ready for you to sew in calico, and all the zips.
A folder for your finished samples to live in.
A booklet that covers all the sewing techniques.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

Absolutely nothing! Everything is provided for the class.

WHO IS THIS CLASS SUITABLE FOR?

This class is a beginner plus level. You should be comfortable with using a sewing machine and sew following the seam allowance. You’ve probably tackled a few dress making projects at home, but haven’t yet had the confidence to insert zips. Or perhaps you’ve sewn zips a while ago and have forgotten how! We will be demonstrating every technique first and then you will have a go.

TESTIMONIALS

Thanks for the great hints and tips, I enjoyed learning how to sew in an invisible zip best. I loved the small class size and the great hand outs. I hope to do more classes with you as dates/annual leave allow.

Siobhan Fern - Zipper Masterclass

The best thing I learned today was how to put in a centered zip correctly. I’ve been doing it incorrectly for years! This class was thoroughly enjoyable and excellent tuition, also excellent written photographic instructions. I also came on Helen’s jersey dress workshop, this zipper workshop was equally as good.
