SEWING TIPS & TRICKS: Mastering Zipper Techniques (AM)

March 4, 2025 @ 9:00 am - March 4, 2026 @ 12:00 pm

R295.00

Struggling with zips? You’re not alone—many sewists find them tricky to master. That’s why Bernina Overberg’s Tips & Tricks series is here to help with practical solutions to common sewing challenges. This workshop focuses on conquering zippers with confidence, starting with essential techniques:

  • Two methods for standard zips—the centered zip with twin stitch lines and the lapped zip with a single stitch.
  • Fly zips, with or without a shield, perfect for jeans and tailored pants.
  • Invisible zips, including closed and open seam applications.

You’ll also explore creative ways to use zips beyond garments and discover how to incorporate zippers with overlocker techniques. This hands-on session is designed to turn frustration into skill and creativity!
