Zips and Buttonholes. Two techniques that can stop sewists in their tracks. We've got news for you....they aren't that scary! So let us demystify them both for you and make you a pro!
We've got two masterclasses in one for you - Zips in the morning and Buttonholes in the afternoon!
ZIPPERS
Zippers are very important in sewing but often we are a bit scared to tackle them. So we are going to break down the steps to really easy steps to a perfect zipper.
We'll focus on the two most used types of zips, lapped, centred and invisible, so you'll have the confidence to tackle any project.
Once you have these skills mastered, and there is enough time, we'll whip up a cute boxy zippered pouch!
BUTTONHOLES
Spoiler alert....The hardest part of buttonholes is making sure they are straight. It's not the actual sewing of them!
We'll tackle the actual sewing of the buttonhole and then master the spacing and layout of them next!
