Introducing the 50" Separating Zipper

Take a closer look at our newest zipper and see why it's a great addition to your sewing projects.

A Zipper That Opens New Possibilities

A great zipper can make all the difference, especially when your project calls for a little extra length. Our new 50" Separating Zipper + Extra Slide gives you the flexibility to create the perfect zipper length for your project.

With a full 50 inches of zipper tape, there's plenty of length to customize the zipper for your project. And because the zipper separates completely, it's especially useful for projects that need to open fully — from coats and garments to specialty bags, home décor, and more.

In fact, it works especially well with our Bella Quilt Coat pattern, making it easy to create a beautiful quilted coat with a full-length separating zipper.

Separating Zippers, the ByAnnie Way  

Like all ByAnnie Handbag Zippers, our 50" Separating Zipper is a YKK #4.5 nylon coil zipper with wide zipper tape. The wide tape makes the zipper easier to install, while the nylon coil keeps it lightweight, flexible, and comfortable to wear.

Unlike many traditional separating zippers, it won't feel clunky, heavy, or stiff on your finished project.

And there's another bonus: each zipper includes an extra slide!

If you have zipper tape left over after completing your project, the extra slide gives you the opportunity to use that remaining tape for another project. Less waste, more possibilities!

A Great Match for Bella Quilt Coat

If you've been thinking about making a Bella Quilt Coat, this zipper is a perfect finishing touch.

The generous 50-inch length gives you the flexibility you need for a longer coat, and its lightweight construction won't add unnecessary bulk to your finished garment.

Choose from 14 colors that coordinate with our other ByAnnie products, including Lightweight Mesh, Fold-over Elastic, and Handbag Zippers, so you can create a beautifully coordinated project from start to finish.
