How to sew a handmade bag zipper and how to sew the zipper head

Zipper is an item often used in daily handicrafts, whether it is making clothes or bags. When using the zipper, pay attention to whether there are any problems such as tooth loss or skew on the zipper. If these problems occur, repair them in time and do not pull hard. If the zipper is loose and detached, you can use a small hammer to gently tap the zipper head a few times to make the upper and lower chain teeth bite tighter, so that the zipper will no longer be detached. When the zipper teeth fall off, how to repair it? Below, the editor of the production department will sort out the zipper puller repair tutorial diagram for everyone. Don’t throw away the zipper if it is broken. Let’s learn some repair tips together!

How to sew zipper pullers

Prepare a small piece of fabric (preferably not thick fabric). Fold it in half along the red dotted line.
Fold the end section inward (folded like an "M" when viewed from the side). Make sure the red arrow part is the final size at this point. The bend at the front and back should be around 5mm, so if its still a long piece of fabric, cut it here.
Use a sewing machine to sew the sides. Set it about 2mm wider than its final size (because it will be a bit smaller if turned right side up).
Trim off any excess seam allowance.
Turn it over using a pinch.
The front effect is shown in the picture.
Put it over the top of the zipper.
Stitch more at the join. Use the sewing machine to sew back and forth a few more times.
Once completed, you can repeat the operation on the other side. This is where I will introduce you to the zipper head sewing method. If you also encounter the same zipper problem, give it a try!
