- Zippers! At my first Assistant Designer job, I was put in charge of ordering zippers because I was the only one in the office who could wade through all the terms and codes. It was definitely a point of pride for me at that job! In this video, I go over all the terms you need to know to order zippers for your production or pick out a nice zipper for your project at home!

I would love to see a sewing tutorial for lapped zipper. Great video as always!
would love to see a construction of these great info thx
Hi Zoe! I would love to see a zipper sewing tutorial. I sew casually at home for myself and I am so happy I found your channel. There's a lot I've learned and apply and there's also information that I won't use but I watch all of it because it's great. I think your an excellent teacher! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and entertaining us ❤️
I love this! I work a leather and sewing shop and I've learned so much about zippers and how to shorten and fix them. This is something that should be taught 'cause so many designers coming in just asking for a zipper and I ask them to specify and they don't know what they want or that there are so many options
Your so informative, and your vids always get great into detail without seeming redundant or boring. Thank you for all the amazing fashion knowledge in all your vids.
Now I understand better the concept of choosing fabrics and trims even before starts to draw, I'm on my first-year of fashion design, so in my mind fashion creation was about to draw from your head, but it's actually create using fabrics and other resources. This series really helped me! Thanks
I've already commented on Instagram 😅 but only for making sure that you read this, YES! We neeeeed much more of sewing tutorials 😊 thanks a lot Zoe you're always inspiring 💙
Thank you Zoe, I love how you explained each and every zipper and I love the different colors zippers as well , I would love to see you do a video on putting a zipper on a garment.
Thank you Zoe!! Developing a Moto Jacket for my line and this answered a lot of questions for me 🙂
This was really informative, thank you!! I've always been hesitant to deal with zippers as a beginner sewing; videos on how to sew them would be so helpful! Especially jean zippers since I'd be more inclined to fix some I have piled up :)
I'm on a mission to watch all your videos. I haven't found any other youtube channel that has consistently come up with relevant topics and in depth material. You're doing so well!!!!
I am going to start FIT soon and I love your videos, they are really informative 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love your videos. Clear, organized, great content, and great insights from experience. 👏👏👏. Thank you! 🥰
I learnt so much from this video! Please keep making lessons like these!!
I took three pages of notes :D Thank you!
Yes please Zoe, a zipper tutorial would be fab!
I'm not in the fashion industry, not even close. But I love your videos and tips and explanations so much. It's so helpful! Thank you.
Yes for zipper sewing tutorials!! Thank you :)
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽
thanks for sharing your knowledge and your great energy!
Yes yes yes PLEase. Invisible zippers especially! And easy beginner way for dresses and skirts. This was great!
Just wonderful. I did learn a lot. Thank you! 🌺🤗🌺
Loved this video 😊 would love a zipper construction video!
Yes finally, zippers and buttons are so under spoken. Personally I love mix and matching sippers. I definitely love using jean zippers for most applications, but that’s a design preference.
loved this kind of video!!! thankyou! 💓
Very interesting video. I like that vintage leather jacket so cool
Definitely worth the time to see your tutorial on zipper installation
Zipper tutorials, yes please! Brilliant video!
Got all I needed to know about zippers. Thank you
Very informative, thank you!
Love your videos are GREAT! Learning so much! Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
Brilliant ..really useful.. thank you
There also exist invisible separating zippers. I also remove plastic tractor zipper teeth, it is possible. I think when it comes to invisible zippers in general, it is also important to choose the zipper that has a tape compatible with the fabric of the garment. The on in the video has has a twill tape but there also exist invisible zippers with a knitted tape which appears kinda meshy and is softer than the twill one and therefore, more suitable for lighter, softer or knitted materials.
Thanks for another great video!
I was in Dover street market once and I tried on this Givenchy jacket, and the zips were so smooth and felt high quality, I've never felt a zipper this good! Most zipped jackets / hoodies never feel smooth, they don't zip up and down well like you need to put a WD40 equivalent to make them feel smooth again, even YKK zips the feel light and cheap. I love to know the names of some high end / heavy duty, reflective shiny metal / silver chrome zipped hoodies to save search time. great video as well 🙏
That was really useful, thanks!
Zipper tutorials would be amazing! 😀
Hello!
This video helped me so much!!! Tank you!
Im not sure what what size of zipper i should use for a waterproof camping tent, should y use a 5,8,10?
This is why its called your “fly” !!!!! Wow, im mind blown 🤯 its literally the name of the style! Fly zipper 😂😂😂
hahahahahaha~
i love your videos zoe
great video!!
Very good ---did you leave out two sides wearable pulls ? That is reversible vests, etc.
They can be made by Sticky Fingers too!
You are THE zipper queen!!
really helpful !
Hi I love you. Thanks for doing this it's a great idea 😘
pre-shrink your fabrics! yo! duly noted. you are amazing, thanks for the vid : )
So helpful! Would love a zipper sewing tutorial video please
how about a video on pretreating fabrics
and is it possible to get the fabrics after pretreating as wrinkle free as they were before, especially cottons?
is just wetting the fabric and ironing when it's dry enough or it is necessary to actually wash the fabrics with soap?
Tigresa I second this!
You need to contact a wash house or talk to your fabric sales rep on how they finish fabrics before you buy them.
hi，dear friend. l can help you
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you sooo much ❤
Hey Zoe,
I have a scholarship project coming up for FIDM and I need to know how to render zippers with markers/colored pencil/fine liners. I really want to make them look realistic without looking like a bunch of random horizontal tic marks. Can you make a video any time soon about it? Thanks!
Super helpful
You can make a stopper by sewing the end. Don't need to buy zippers with stoppers. Just buy a long zipper tape and cut them as needed. (as mentioned in the video by Zoe)
I would also love a zipper tutorial! Maybe theres one already? Thanks for your videos Im learning alot !
Now I know more about zippers!
Yes to a sewing zippers tutorial! Also, tip from your trade team on jackets! Use #5 or higher if you’re aiming for outerwear tariff rate (lower than a “cardigan type”!). Also, if you put a zipper on a suit-type jacket, Customs says it’s no longer a suit-type jacket. Thank you Zoe!!! xoxo
I love when you geek out on my channel, but GIRL, screw customs, if there's a zipper on a suit-type jacket, *I* won't let you call it a suit jacket. Subtle horn 4-hole buttons only, with matching style button of a smaller size along the sleeve plackets, tyvm. I will allow shank buttons for sports coats only--never for blazers or suit jackets.
Zoe Hong, haha, as a fashion lover, I agree on all points!! But why did you have to put the image of shank buttons on anything but a denim jacket in my head. My soul weeps!! (Shank buttons are so not a heavy duty closure)
Woven leather shank buttons on a tweed jacket is SO handsome English professor!
Omg you saved me from ordering the wrong size!! 🙏
thanks for the infos!
Hello Zoe !
Will you please tell me what kind of zipper to use on high end gowns ? Brand and type also please
which zipper is more reliable and lasts longer - the orange one at 6:57 or the black one on 5:10 ? I want it for front pockets on trousers.
Could you make a video on how a garment goes from initial idea to the final product ready to sell? I'm not really sure what goes on in the stages in between!
I am going through that process in my Watch Me Design playlist.
Ok, I will check that playlist out! Thanks Zoe! Binge watching all your videos to prepare me for fashion school in the fall!
I love the look of invisible zips and find them easy to install, however I find them difficult to zip at waist lines etc where four seems come together. So unless the fabric is very lightweight I just go with a coiled zip.
Thank you. Wanted to know also about the different type of teeth and how it affects smoothness.
Thanks!!! would you only recommend YKK or are there other trustable zippers that are more affordable? Thanks
YBS is a good brand too. Regardless of the brand, I recommend ordering some samples and sew them into some sample fabric and toss them into the washing machine a few times.
Sorry. I wanted to know which zipper type for which fabric. Example, should I use a nylon zipper for denim or use metal?
is there a maximum amount that a zipper can bend (i have so many dresses where the zipper hooks halfway up at the waist etc)? do the nylon zippers maybe hook less than metal ones? like is there a type of zipper material that premium clothing construction would use?
I don't know what you mean about zippers hooking. For smooth zips, it's not about the material but about the production quality. Premium brands like YKK make sure the individual metal teeth are smooth so the zips don't get stuck as you pull them open and closed, etc.
I pushed the 900 like :D
What type of thread and pattern paper do you use?
excellent
Thankssssss !!!!
Which zipper is stronger or wears better or does it even matter?
Thank you for the informative video!
I never learned how to sew from a book but there's a lot of demand for the videos so I'll be planning those.
I have a men's compression shirt I wanted to have a zipper installed that will separate all the way up the middle of the back, what type of zipper would you recommend for that? Something that will last a long time? Thank you
A separating #5 nylon coil zip
Where can I get the best fabrics & zippers at ? 🙏🏾
Hey Zoe do you think you could do an in-depth vid on canvas
Unfortunately, no, I've not worked on canvas much at all, not as a backdrop for paint and not as a material for clothesmaking.
Zoe Hong ah ok no worries, thanks for replying though :)
Hi, do you know is CSK zippers are good brand?
Please please please do a step by step video of sewing an invisible zipper please !
Hi, I have a zipper related question. Is it possible to separate a closed ended zipper? Or is it stuck the way it is. I have a closed No.5 ykk zipper and wanted to see if separating without ruining it was possible?
If you look at the bottom metal bits of a zipper, they're totally different. You'd have to remove the last clamp closing the 2 sides and add pieces I've never seen sold separately at the retail level.
@@zoehongteaches hi, which zipper is more reliable and lasts longer -the orange one at 6:57 or the black one on 5:10 ? I want it for front pockets on trousers .
I do alterations and I'm having a devil of a time finding those highly polished metal zippers that they're doing the exposed application in the back of dresses. also highly polished metal coat zippers. my customers always want an EXACT match. usually I show them what I have and let them pick. Even on Etsy or some other websites I've found, even if I find the zippers, they're always in black or white and I always need something like navy. it's very frustrating
I feel like someone needs to pay attention to this market gap...
Thank you for this❤️ could you do one for different type of buttons
I would love to see a video om how to see zippers. :)
yes please please sewing tutorial
If my pattern requires an invisible zipper, will it usually be mentioned?
yes, in the tech pack
Why does my purse's zipper make my hands smell?? And how do I prevent this from happening?! I'm about to return this bag and I really don't want to.
I thought I knew about zippers ... Yes please, some video's on sewing zippers.
I recently had done a lapped zipper in class, at first I struggled but at the end of the day I did produce a decent looking sample!😩
How long of a zipper do i need? Want to make zipper pouches...
I think , I can help u>
Do they make invisible zippers with metal teeth? I have so far found none.
I kind of think it would defeat the purpose, but I want a strong, hidden zipper that can withstand a lot of wear and tension.
Not that I know of, yes, I think it would defeat the purpose.
Zoe Hong ;-; Aww, I was kind of hoping that they did exist. Oh well, maybe I should figure out how to make a tiny flap that covers it. XD
Any recommended online zipper company?? I know of wawak.
Can you do a design process where you design and make a skirt or a dress, i doesnt have to be one video, one parforhold every week until youre done with it. Or was that a dumb idea hah?
I already do that. Go watch my Watch Me Design a Fashion Collection series. We're going to move onto tech packs and garment construction soon.
thank you, i have already that
please do the tutorial on zippers!!!
stiiicckkyy finggas
I want tutorials!!!!! :D
Since you seem to be the zipper pro, I want to ask you a question that I can't find online. DOES ALL YKK zippers have "YKK" printed on them? I made a purchase from a seller off ETSY that claims to use YKK zippers. Upon examination of the zippers, it does not say YKK anywhere at all. When I contact them they're kinda dodgy with the question.. and say "yes the zipper". I'm not sure since they're European.. either they are dodging or bad English. Pls help. Thx. -The product was kinda pricy too. I was expecting at least nice quality. :(
They should all have YKK directly on the zipper (the head, the pull, somewhere.)
@@zoehongteaches Thank you so much for replying. Yup, I think she just totally scammed me or something. Very unprofessional. Everything sent were all some type of generic zipper.
