This week I am feeling particularly crafty so I thought it might be a good time to share an extra craft related post! As I have begun sewing again one of the trickiest and most intimidating parts has been zippers. Zippers tend to be scary to most sewers when they are starting out and there is basically no reason for it. Once you start working with them it becomes clear, that like most things in sewing, it's never as bad as it seems.

So today, I wanted to share some great online resources to help you with zippers!
