DIY Zippers





 
You will need:
* 2 Zippers
* Scissors
* Thread
This is very easy and it's just to add a bit of character to a boring jumper. First you have to sew the zippers on the shoulders of the jumper then cut the zipper area.
And this is how it looks when you sew the zippers..
Then cut the zipper area so you can open the zippers however you want it.
Hope you will give it a try and if you have any questions feel free to email me!
I want to thank Vanessa from Take only Memories for the lovely drawing and feature she did about Style Marmalade. This truly made me smile and I feel very happy meeting such a lovely person over the internet! This is what I love about blogging!
You have to check her blog she lives in Berlin so she always has great backgrounds of the city and a mixture of great photography and unique style plus she is truly adorable in every way. You could check her blog HERE!

  2. What a lovely tutorial - I always love zip tops but they're barely in theshops that I go to. Is it easy enough for me to do? can't sew but I have a sewing machine - can I use that for it? :)

  25. guapa otra idea genial, eso de las cremalleras me encanta, y esta muy de moda ahora, bueno a mi me recuerda mucho a mi juventos es k cuando tenia como 15 anos iba a la escuela de moda aki en austria y un dia cogi una camiseta y tambien tenia la idea de poner unas cremalleras en una camiseta, de hecho la camiseta al final estaba cubierto de cremalleras y la profesora me dijo k eso no va a llevar nadie jaja pero estaba muy equivocada creo es k en la moda no deberia haber reglas!!!
    love and kiss,mary

  26. Just had a chance to read your Q+A with Vanessa... really liked 'I don't have a formula but I believe in one thing. Never compare yourself with other bloggers'... I'm so bad for this, comparing my blog to others! haha I promise to try and remember you advice from now on!
