What to expect

In this workshop you will master zip insertion.

You will take away reference examples and printed instructions to help you have success in inserting zippers at home.

We shall also look at how to replace or mend broken zips, looking at common problems.

What to bring?

You will not need to bring anything with you, but if you have an item with a broken zip and would like some advice on how to fix it, bring it along.
