Product Description
No.5 Continuous Zip in Baby Blue
Light, calm, and versatile, this No.5 continuous zipper tape in Baby Blue is a gentle choice for adding a fresh accent to handmade projects. Sold by the ½ metre, it’s supplied in one continuous length when you order more than one unit, so you can cut exactly what you need. Each ½ metre includes one matching rectangular #5 pull; extra pulls are available separately so you can configure either single- or double-pull zips with ease.
Made with a nylon coil, this zip provides smooth gliding performance and reliable flexibility. It curves neatly around gussets and boxed corners, sits flat under top-stitching, and is kinder to machine needles than metal teeth. The No.5 coil (5 mm width) offers reassuring durability for bags and organisers, while remaining light enough for pouches, accessories, and home décor items such as cushions or storage bins.
Continuous zip tape gives makers complete control: cut it to the exact length required, add sliders from either direction, and create tailored closures to suit your pattern. In Baby Blue, with tape, coil, and pull all colour-matched, this zip creates a clean, coordinated finish. The soft pastel tone pairs beautifully with children’s fabrics, spring palettes, or neutral projects needing a subtle hint of colour.

Double-sided basting tape helps secure the tape before sewing.

To finish ends, fold the tape back and stitch, or use a fabric tab for neatness.

Other Details
✨ Attaching a Zipper Pull
- Separate the ends of the zip tape by a few centimetres to give yourself space.
- Place the slider so the flat side faces upward and the curved side points down.
- Insert the first side of the tape into the slider until it catches.
- Line up the second side carefully and feed it into the opposite channel.
- Push both sides in gently until the teeth begin to mesh.
- Slide the pull along the tape to check it’s secure and moving smoothly.
✂️ Snip Snip Tip: For easier threading, cut about 5 mm of the zipper teeth off one side of the tape. Feed the longer side with the teeth into the slider first, then the trimmed side — the stagger helps the pull catch and align cleanly.
Alternative: Trimming both ends of the tape on a slight angle can also help. Seal the cut edges with a quick pass of heat or fray stop to prevent unravelling.
