This is such a wonderful resource, thank you so much !!! I can’t count the number of jeans I had to part with because of broken zippers :( I assume this technique would work on other kinds of garments too ?

So glad you're finding our tutorials useful. Yes, you can use this method for other kinds of garments indeed.

This is the best sewing tutorial I've ever seen. It is straightforward, gets right to it, and you can clearly see what the person is doing with clear instructions. I wish every tutorial was done like this!

Thanks for this video, I bought the cutest jumper from a garage sale and realized the zipper was broken when I got home. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much 💓 I really needed this one. My husband needs a zipper fixed on a pair of work pants that he just gave me 2 weeks ago, and I was dreading it until I just got this notification 🙃 😊

My son has a pair of uniform trousers that he refuses to wear because the zip opens the wrong way. Otherwise they seem to be sized and shaped for men. Is there a way to change the fly open the opposite way?
