Tutorial: Shortening a Nylon Coil Zipper

We are stitching up some awesome jackets right now during the Midway Bomber Jacket Sewalong!

Today, we are sewing in our zipper, and while a metal zipper is the easiest to shorten, sometimes you just want or need to use a nylon coil zipper, like I did on my exposed zip.

So, my very helpful husband (who is the official zipper shortener around here) made this awesome video for you!

I hope it helps!
