Hello and welcome to day 3 of the Ollie Bomber Jacket Sew Along! Today we are tackling the zipper! I know this is intimidating for a lot of people, but you so got this! Just go slow and take your time. I’m my opinion, jacket zippers are a lot easier than the other types of garment zipper installations. Remember, if you have any questions, ask! Let’s conquer our fears and sew some zippers!
