Fix-It Austin: Zipper Replacement Workshop for Pants

Do you love to sew but avoid every project with a zipper? Then this workshop is for you! In this hour-and-a-half class, you’ll learn essential skills to replace a zipper on a pair of pants. We recommend that participants in this workshop already be familiar with how to use a sewing machine.

You can RSVP here.

What to Expect: Learn from a professional fashion designer who will walk you through step-by-step zipper removal and installation specifically for pants.

What You’ll Learn:

• Types of zippers and how they work

• How to remove and replace a faulty zipper on a pair of pants

• Techniques for fixing stuck or misaligned zippers

Why Attend?

• Get over your fear of zippers and advance your sewing skills

• Extend the life of your favorite pants

• Connect with other sewists

What to Bring:

• A pair of pants with a broken zipper to work on (if you have one)

• A new zipper if you have a color or style preference
• Your own sewing machine, if you’d like. We’ll have three available to share, but bringing your own means no waiting.
