__________________________
Zippers can feel intimidating, especially when you usually see them taught inside full projects. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by zippers, it’s not because you’re bad at sewing. It’s because the basics often get skipped.

In this video, we slow things down and focus on the zipper itself. You’ll learn the foundational skills that apply to almost any zipper project, so the next time a zipper comes up, it feels manageable instead of confusing.

In this beginner-friendly tutorial, you’ll learn:
• The basic parts of a zipper and what they’re called
• What zipper length actually means
• How to sew a zipper step by step
• How to move the zipper pull while sewing
• How to shorten a zipper if you don’t have the exact size you need

This video is all about building confidence and understanding, not perfection.
