SHOW NOTES

The Sailrite website has a lot of good tutorials and resources on the various kinds of zippers. They also sell zippers and zipper hardware.

Creative Rehab and Sassy Sewing has a good Substack tutorial on zips, with an accompanying YouTube video.

ZipIt, on Etsy, is probably my favorite zipper supplier. They have every size and length and color of zipper imaginable.

Dritz has a comprehensive line of zipper repair kits.

Patterns:

Kid’s Adventure Jacket by Peek-A-Boo Patterns

Ramona Skirt by Tilly and the Buttons

Kanoko Tote by Waffle Patterns
