Fixing and Stitching the Stopper on Short Zippers
Shorter zippers, such as those on pants or skirts, often fail due to a broken stopper. Here’s how to fix it in a few simple steps:
Identify the problem area, usually at the bottom of the zipper.
Using scissors, slightly cut the lower end of the zipper to create a new opening.
Gently slide the slider back onto the zipper teeth.
Sew a new stopper by hand or with a machine to prevent the slider from coming off again.
Use strong thread to ensure a lasting repair.
