Zips – Saturday Skill Builders
August 5, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Two sessions 5 & 12 August 10am to 1pm $70 including zips and other consumables for samples
Oh them pesky zips! Come and learn how to be the boss of them!
In this class we will cover:
- what type of zip insertion suits your project
- where is the best place for the zip
- how to line up that waist seam and neckline horizontally
- inserting zips into stretch or bias cut garments
- inserting invisible, lap and centred zips
- hand sewn zip insertion for a couture finish
- finishing the lining behind the zip
It’s best you bring your own machine, and of course its zipper feet both standard and invisible (although I will demonstrate a hand sewn invisible zip insertion) Also a range of fabric off cuts including at least two types of woven and a sturdy knit (ponte, merino etc)
We will be making samples to create a reference resource for your future use. We won’t be inserting zips into actual garments.
