Hello Darlings!

Today I have a new tutorial prepared on how to shorten a plastic zipper! I recently showed this technique on my Instagram and figured I would share it here, too.

This technique is very simple and easy to do, but gives beautiful and - most importantly - secure finish to a shortened zipper. This technique is suited for plastic zippers, so do not use it on metal ones - there's a different technique for it!

I have prepared this tutorial in both video and photo step-by-step formats, so feel free to choose which one is more suitable you! Click below to watch video, or scroll down for the photos.

Enjoy!

Great tutorial! The steps are simple and very helpful for anyone learning basic sewing techniques. I really like how clearly the process of shortening a plastic zipper is explained. I was actually reading about chase bowman net worth earlier, and while browsing blogs I found this guide very useful and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing such practical tips!
