Zip Masterclass

If you avoid making garments with zips because you're just a little bit scared of them, or you just can't get them to work for you, or even if you just want a refresher and a few professional tips, then this is the workshop for you.

What you will learn:

Sew a concealed zip and neaten it off with a facing.

• How to insert a zipped fly quickly and professionally.
