Waistline repair
Thanks for this. I loved the tiny stitch hack until I realized I sewed the wrong side of the zipper down🤣🤪 then those tiny stitch required many curse words to take out so I could do it again. But in the end it’s more or less a success. Your going in my playlist of favorite tutorials.
Thank you for the feedback. I agree with you that the tiny stitching is a b&$@# to get out.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video!
Title is "Replace Zipper Pull" not zipper slider!
Thanks for your feedback. Pull and slider can be used interchangeably when talking of zippers, as seen in this search result for 'zipper pull' www.myshoehospital.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ZIPPER-PULLS_6-1-18.jpg The pull can refer to the tab we hold when opening and closing a zipper and the slider can refer to the body that encloses the teeth.
Very clever. Hoping to fix my oriental silk doona cover.Jenny
Thank you for using camera angles where I can see what you are actually doing. Excellent instructions, well done video.
This was the only video I could find on sharping WAX! There are tons about chalk but I wasn’t sure it was the same method. (As it turns out you do the same thing to hone both- but I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly!) Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, I have a huge box of your wax and love it! But was going through it rather quickly, as you might imagine, because I was setting aside each piece as it got dull! 😅
Thanks for the feedback. When marking with the chalk always press lightly and keep the long edge flat for the most accurate lines. Also do not tilt the wax so as to wear down the corners. They will become dull quicker than the long edges. Happy sewing!
Thank you for your video.
You are welcome David!
A million thanks to your ease of instructions!
You are very welcome Donna!
I think I'm missing something. When you put in the second half of the zipper 'up to the chalk mark', I can't find the part in the instructions for how to create that chalk mark.
You are correct. When we created the video the videographer had me redo this portion and when the footage was put back together the step where I mark the second half of the zipper was edited out. Just prior to this step the zipper is done up to the top of the waistband (the first half is already stitched down). Mark with chalk on the second half the point where the other side of the waistband should be stitched.
@@JacksonSewingAcademy Thank you so much for the reply. I just finished replacing my first zipper in my jeans following your instructions.
@@richdenton4805 I am so happy to hear that! Feedback like yours is the reason I love teaching the trade!
Thank yo Miss for your video.It solved my problem !
Thank you, very well done.
I just replaced my first zipper. Thank you so much.
This is about replacing the slider, not the pull.
Some people use the two terms interchangeably.
@@JacksonSewingAcademy They are two different things, and I am looking for the way to add a new zipper pull, NOT the slider.
@@melaniebruno4632 Are you referring to the actual tab that is attached to the slider that one holds on to while pulling the slider up and down?
@@JacksonSewingAcademy Yes; it's the item that hangs onto the small metal ring on the slider that enables the pull to go up and down, which the manufacturer (Coats) refers to as the zipper pull. I bought a new pull but after I put it on it kept coming right off. Then I discovered why the original one fell off - the small metal ring on the slider has an opening at the bottom, so putting on a new pull is worthless, since it will fall off every time. Whoever thought an opening at the bottom of that ring is a mental midget.
@@melaniebruno4632 I agree with you on that. You can of course replace their ring with a similar sized key ring or decorative lace to create a pull. Other than that I would replace the entire slider. I also understand that sometimes replacing the slider means the new one may not match the others on a garment. I have had clients request they all be switched out for a cohesive appearance.
Did you just do a straight stitch or zig zag?
Hello Angela, I use a very small straight stitch for this mending technique.
@@JacksonSewingAcademy Thank you
Won’t the thread in the bobbin go thru the flap next to the decorate top stitch?
Yes it will but when the proper colour of thread is used along with a very, very small stitch, it will not be noticeable.
Very detailed and easy to follow. I have a question. Did you do just one line of stitches on the button side to hold the zipper in?
Yes I did just do one row of topstitching for this pant. If the pant had double topstitching I would have done the two.
Thank you. Fixed my jacket zipper. Very easy. Good tutorial.
Hi, what size zipper should you have? 7" or 9" ?
Merci Conseils de pro Bravo
Excellent! This was a life saver!!
Nice explantion
Thanks for this guide, managed to fix two jerseys!
I am glad this lesson was of help to you!
After just paying $15.00 (YIKES!!) on just a zipper replacement for a pair of $3.00 thrift store jeans I bought, I need to learn how to replace zippers on jeans. I have a little experience sewing and I own a couple of older sewing machines. I can do minor straight line sewing work but nothing intricate as this. I would love to get back into sewing again as I find it really relaxing. But I do enjoy finding some interesting pieces at thrift shops and making them my own. This is one skill I definitely need to learn how to do. So my sewing fears are zippers (clearly), making button holes, and adding pockets to skirts (most skirts should have pockets...LOL). From all the videos I have seen, this one makes more sense to me as you don't have to rip out the entire jean in order to replace the zipper. This tutorial is perfect. I may go find a cheap pair of to make some alternations to. Thanks for your help.
This video helped a lot.
The zipper pull TAB broke of one of a "work sweatshirt" made by a well known company and when they sent me a "replacement kit" they didn't send the directions for how to fix it. I thought I had been saved when I found your video. Unfortunately your audio and your video are not "in alignment" with each other, making it really hard (at least for me) to follow/figure out what you're doing. You may want to look into fixing this issue.
Thanks I will look into this and get it fixed!
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for teach me
It's my pleasure
Some people are very confident with their thread snipping! 😶
I still cut my share of 'holes' from time to time!
This is excellent. Clear instruction without all the usual blur, intros and "about me" ramblings that we see on so many tutorials. Excellent Thank you. Subscribing!
Thank you Fran!
You make it look so simple
Everything is easy once you know how. :)
i just have the same problem when I remove the failed buttons they leave holes but not as big as shown in the video, do I still need to repair the holes first and then punch those new buttons or I can just put new buttons without repairing holes? (Btw the holes are a lot smaller than the screws bottom.) and I did put new buttons without repairing and they look fine, and I don’t see any fabric sticking out of the buttons, is that fine? Or it will move around and ending up with buttons fell off?
Hello Dan, thanks for leaving the comment. I use the darning technique almost all the time when a jean button pulls out from the back of the fabric. I do not punch a hole through the newly darned area when putting the new button on. I place the bottom nail side of the new button under the waistband and pound the top half on through the material. I found when I punched a hole for the nail that the material frays too easily and the new button pulls through. The only time I would not use the darning is when the jean button itself just broke off. But if it has pulled through the material I would recommend doing a bit of darning. I hope this is helpful.
Hello! Got the first side in, watching the second side, and at the 9:01 time mark, you talk about the chalk mark. I didn't remember cutting that side or making a chalk mark, so I re watched the video, and it just skips to there. Can you help fill in the missing part please? I was doing so well until this point! Thanks
Hello, you are correct. The part you are talking about got left out accidently. Once the first side is fully in zip up the zipper as high as it will go and mark the loose side with chalk where the zipper reaches the waistband. Cut the zipper half inch above the chalk mark and this portion is tucked under the waistband. I hope this clarifies the steps.
Thank you so very much because I have always turned away people who needed a zipper replacement in jeans .
Thanks Mae! I offer other lessons at my sewing academy. www.jacksonsewingacademy.com/zipper-replacements-module-1/
Best tutorial ever thank you xx
Thank you so much for the informative video! I now can replace a zipper in jeans! 😀
Glad it was helpful!
1 year ago I left a comment commending you on your instructions after successfully replacing 2 zippers. Today I came back to your video and changed another zipper. This time it was faster but only thanks to referring back to your clear instructions. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO 💐
Thank you for the comments and I'm glad you were able to benefit from within videos.
Your confidence and efficiency are awesome. I have had a pair of jeans with a broken zipper for years that I've had to slowly/manually zip past the broken part and I'm finally going to fix it. Thank you. Btw, what model is that cool sewing machine? Does it have automatic backstitching?
Thank you for your comment! The machine I use in the video is a basic industrial sewing machine that just does straight stitch and no automatic backpacking.
Where can I buy the button for this?
Jean buttons can be purchased at some fabric stores in packages of 5-10. I order mine online at Wawak.com/ca I am in Canada so I use their Canadian site.
I've bought them off Ebay. They're called jean button pins. A uniform company supplied uniforms at work. I was a hassle getting them to replace a missing button on the pants. I bought a pack for of these and do the repair myself. Easy and very strong and permanent.
I did not see or hear when/where you put the chalk mark. I am assuming it is at the same level as the other side that was clipped to tucked into the waistband.
You are correct, we did a retake when shooting this scene and the clip showing me put the chalk on the other side got cut out by accident.
thank you so much for giving this detailed information on how to change zipper👍🙂
My pleasure 😊
Thank you!!
What happens if the button that you buy doesn't have the screw thing on the back?
Hello Jolene, thank you for the question. Once the hole is repaired a standard button can be sewn on to replace the jean button. I would recommend sewing the button on with a raised shank.
Is is possible to do something like this by hand?
I live in a small apartment and can’t afford a sewing machine yet
@@JuliaTaylorSoprano Hello I apologize for not responding sooner. I believe you can use hand stitching to darn the hole. Once darned you can attach a new button.
This is a great technique. Definitely going to give it a go next time. I have a small alteration & repair business from my home studio, this will help save time.☺
This is terrific tutorial. Big big help to my zip jacket issue.👍
This is exactly how my mother, who does alterations, changes thread. Cool....
love to know how to fix my zippers on any kind of pants thanks for the tips. Will be taking notes
Happy to help!
Wow that is amazing i never knew you could cut the zipper and use the hand wheel when going over the teeth! It is always a living hell for me to sew on a zipper.
I am glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
