A zipper pull-tab is simply a tab attached to the zipper pull that allows for an easier opening of the bag.<\/p>\n

Really, I assure you,\u00a0this little detail makes opening bags 10 times easier<\/strong>. I systematically add it, including to retail bags (yes, I also sometimes buy bags;)).<\/p>\n

Very practical, easy as pie to make, it is an extra personal touch to add to your bag. You can add pull-tabs to the main bag zipper as well as interior and exterior zippered pockets.<\/p>\n

You can create different variations with rivets etc …, the version presented in this tutorial is an ultra easy base and done in no time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

{Tutorial}\u00a0Zipper pull-tab<\/h1>\n

1-\u00a0Measure the height of the zipper pull hole.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me here, 4 mm.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Mesurer<\/a>
Measure the height of the hole.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
2-\u00a0Cut a strip of 20 cm by 2 cm<\/strong>\u00a0in the faux-leather or other non-fraying fabric.The length of your strip\u00a0should not be abble to stretch!<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\"Couper<\/a>
Cut a strip of 20 cm by 2 cm in faux-leather.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
3-\u00a0Fold the strip into 2 lengthwise, wrong sides together<\/strong>.Stitch with a seam allowance equal to the height of the zipper pull hole\u00a0minus 1 mm<\/strong>.Example:<\/em>\u00a0For me here the seam allowance is equal to 4-1 = 3 mm. So I stitch 3 mm\u00a0from the folded edge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Backstitch at beginning and end of stitchline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Je<\/a>
I stitch 3 mm from the folded edge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
As you can see below, I start and end my stitching 1 cm from the ends. This is simply because I like to cut the ends diagonally, but you can start and end right at the edges.<\/div>\n
\"Commencer<\/a>
Start and end the stitchline away from the edges to be able to cut the ends diagonally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Extr\u00e9mit\u00e9s<\/a>
Ends cut diagonally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
4-\u00a0Trim the excess<\/strong>\u00a0close to the stitchine along the entire strip.<\/div>\n
\"Recouper<\/a>
Trim the excess as close to the stitchline as possible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
5- Fold the strip in two and\u00a0slide the ends through the hole in the zipper pull.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"Glisser<\/a>
Slide the ends through the hole.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
6-\u00a0Thread the ends through the loop<\/strong>\u00a0and pull to tighten the loop.<\/div>\n
\"Passer<\/a>
Thread ends through the loop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0, the zipper pull-tab is done and\u00a0you will no longer struggle to open your bag!<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tirette<\/a>
Zipper pull-tab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

[box type=”note”]For an ultra fast, no-sew version :<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use a ribbon that you\u2019ll attach directly to the zipper\u00a0as described in steps 5-6, but personally I like zipper pull-tabs to have “body” and I find a simple ribbon to be too limp. A better option than a ribbon, in my opinion, is to use a half-round or flat leather lace.[\/box]<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
