Online Interactive Workshop: Zippy Fun!

CraftyMonkies fan-fave & craft expert extraordinaire Sarah Payne returns with a real treat of a class for all who've ever struggled with getting to grips with zips! Sarah's Zippy Fun workshop will teach you all those little tricks & workarounds to help ensure you never dread working with those pesky zippers ever again!...

Introduction by Sarah:-

Just the word 'ZIP' can make people flinch! Many sewists have a fear (if not a downright dread!) of the zip – including me when I first started out on my sewing journey. Well, I am here to help you with that! In this techniques-based class I will take away that fear and show you a range of ways to use zips – and very soon you will be wondering what you were ever afraid of!

What You Will Learn in this Online Interactive Workshop:-

During this class Sarah will go through:-

• The Feet - Zipper Foot, Adjustable Zipper Foot, Invisible Zipper Foot. What are they and when do you need to use them?
• Different types of zips and how to make the most of them
• Using invisible zips in cushions and clothing
• Using visible/lace zips as a feature on bags or garments
• Zips in a bag
• Tabbed zips
• Inserting a curved zipper (double or single ended)
• Pockets with zips
• Adjusting the size of your zips

This is very much a techniques based class so bring a pen and paper, but you will also get the opportunity to make a simple cosmetic bag with a zip fastening.
