Zippy Sampler

Want to add a special couture touch to your garments?  Looking for the perfect stitch for a hem or closure?  Need a refresher on the difference between a slip stitch and a back stitch?  Then sign up for this course in common hand stitches.  In the second half of class, we’ll cover various zipper applications.  These will include invisible, centered, lapped, fly front, and a hand-picked zip.  You’ll walk away with a sampler of stitches and zipper applications, along with an understanding of when best to apply them.

$35 + 1 invisible zipper, 3 conventional zippers, 1 metal zipper (available on the day of class)
