In sewing projects, sometimes we find that the length of the zipper does not match the clothing. If the zipper is too short to fit the required space, you must purchase a new zipper. However, if the length of the zipper is too long, we can easily shorten the length of the zipper to make it more correct and suitable for use on this garment.

In daily life, there are three common zippers that are more popular: conventional plastic zippers, metal zippers and invisible zippers. Although they use different materials and have different uses, the steps to shorten the three zippers are roughly the same. Only a little bit different, we will note in the text below.

First we need to measure the length of the existing zipper and the length required by the garment, and then mark it.Measure the area that you need and mark where you want to place the new stopper. For invisible zippers, measure and marks from the back side since that is where the teeth are.When measuring Metal Zipper, you should measure from the top of the pull to the stopper. The area you mark is where the top of the pull should be.

After marking the area, stitch it by either hand or a machine passing the thread several times to make a reliable stopper. Then, cut out an inch below the stopper. When dealing with a Plastic Zipper and a Invisible Zipper, the extra length that you need to remove will be from the bottom of the zipper tape. You need to make a new bottom stopper either by sewing by hand or by using a machine.For a metal zipper, remove the teeth an inch above the new top of the pull and cut it out. With that, you will have a new zipper to finish your project. Isn't it simple?
