It is possible to shorten a metal teeth zipper. The process is exactly the same, just be careful to try and cut between the zipper teeth so as not to ruin your scissors.

[@ashleywest7855]

Great tutorial! I’m very new to sewing and I’m curious, does the thimble just help you push through without hurting your fingers? Thanks! :)

[@colleenglea]

Yes thats correct Ashley.

What do you recommend for jacket with zipper because it opens up. I am not sure if you understand what I mean.

[@colleenglea]

The best kind of zippers for jackets are open ended. I hope that helps, I think that is what you are asking.

[@scooterphoenix]

I think I'm going to find this channe

[@thahiraabdulla42]

Can we shorten the zipper from the top end?

[@colleenglea]

Yes! Thank you for commenting Thahira Abdulla.
