Hate sewing zippers? Here are some EASY alternatives - tie back, apron, & wrap top

[@maybebre]

Coming in REALLY late with this update, but I just found out Maddy Brookall (the og creator of the top I sewed) made her own video teaching how she made that bow tie tank, so here's the link if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpDWZmCCgc2cZ9k

My problem with zippers is if I gain or lose weight then they become an obstacle. Also if you don't have the "right" body for them, they hit weird on the body and make that awful wavy bit in whichever seam they're placed in. Overall, I will always pick clothes I can slip on, tie on, or button on(bonus points if there are multiple button hole options, meaning adjustability, adjustability is key) Also! I would love to see your take on the 18th century petticoat, it's totally size adjustable, entirely customizable, and I think it's a great staple piece🤗 YES more of these please, it's always nice to see different things in action because it can seriously help with inspiration.

YES to all of this, adjustable clothing is the best! I will definitely make more parts to this, i have SO many more ideas

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTENT!! Im a plus size girly and an occasional sewist and seeing you SLAY these projects has inspired me to get back TO IT ❤❤❤

[@maybebre]

this is SUCH a kind comment, made my day!!!

[@emestebanez4389]

I love this! your sense of humor definitely comes through and the tutorials all made a lot of sense. Thank you!

[@maybebre]

omg that is SO kind thank you!!!

[@alesswonderland]

Yes please do a series! I'm always looking for tips on how to add buttons to patterns that call for a zipper. My body fluctuates too often and I'm not the biggest fan of zippers.

[@berenicegarcia4655]

I am in awe at your confidence in cutting and sewing! Your 15 years of sewing definitely show. I will try to replicate the second one, the top, and I will be checking up on the different closures :)

[@maybebre]

I had some GREAT teachers along the way (& a generous helping of mistakes lol) & YES definitely try it out!!

[@liadanducky]

I hate zippers! Most of the things I’ve made are big enough to just pull on but thank you for this video because I have a tighter top I can’t decide how to close 😝

[@hannahmarie1921]

i love that this video has come JUST after i'd fully given up and committed to learning zips 🫠 i adore all the projects though!! especially the apron, shes been on SUCH a journey on this channel 🩷

[@maybebre]

lol i have the BEST timing & YES before i know it she'll be a crop top 😂

[@kindalegendary-mh4wk]

[@TastesLikeKurodo]

omg do you have a pattern for the last dress???

[@maybebre]

unfortunately no, went at that one all by myself 😂 but I'll look around online to see if i can find anything similar (& free lol)

[@TastesLikeKurodo]

@@maybebre thank you!!

[@KJayPlays]

Third time watching this 🤍

[@maybebre]

omg thank you!!!

[@shortiebae152]

Entertaining, but I love my zippers....makes my body easy to get in and out of clothes.

[@maybebre]

totally valid, i just have a personal vendetta against zippers 😂

[@NeighborhoodOfBlue]

@shortiebae152 not every body can handle the power of a statement tie, and it's okay that you're one of those people.

[@shortiebae152]

@@NeighborhoodOfBlue I like ties too. I am fortunate to have perfected how to install zips well that I even now have to restrain myself from putting zips in any new garment I make now....and explore other closure options like buttons or snaps or ties.
