divisible
Separable zippers (also called separable zippers) are the first choice when garments or projects need to be opened completely - such as jackets, coats, vests or throws. Two-way versions are particularly practical as they can be opened from the top and bottom and increase freedom of movement and comfort.
What are separating zippers suitable for?
They are suitable for all projects where you want to completely separate the front edge: outer garments, transition jackets, long coats or even coats for children. 2-way zippers are also useful for garments with slits or when you need more freedom of movement when sitting.
Sewing tips for hobby sewers
Sewing is easy to learn if you follow a few tricks:
- Check the length before sewing in and adjust or neaten if necessary.
- Position exactly with pins or basting stitches; a zipper foot makes sewing easier.
- Use interfacing or seam tape to stabilize stretchy fabrics.
- Attach the top ends and stoppers neatly so that the zipper lasts a long time.
You should pay attention to this when buying
Pay attention to the right length, the quality of the teeth (metal or plastic), an even spiral and a 2-way function, if desired. The right color and a robust belt make the difference in the appearance and longevity of your project.
