In this video I’ll show you step by step how to sew a sweatshirt with a front zipper. I’ve seen so many cool retro style 1/4 zip jumpers so I thought I would sew my own and show you how you can do the same. If you have never used a sewing machine or if you’re rusty with how to thread one up, how to wind a bobbin or adjusting the settings, then make sure you watch this video first! Welcome to Slew Living! I'm Esther and I sew stuff to support a slow lifestyle. If you’re starting to learn about sustainable and ethical living and how to curate a more mindful closet, a great step is to learn how to sew your own things. This way you can invest your own time into creating or tailoring beautiful pieces that will serve you in the long run and steer clear of cheap and nasty items that have been sewn in sweatshops or from unsustainable materials. In the words of Vivienne Westwood, ‘Buy less, choose well and make it last!’ Follow along for more inspo and BTS Let me know in the comments if you have suggestions for more mending tutorials or garments/items you’d like to sew from scratch!
