Product Description
Pink with Blue Teeth & Pull | No.5 Continuous Zip
Fresh and quietly playful, Pink Tape & Blue Teeth gives a clean, high-contrast line to bags and accessories. Soft blush tape provides the backdrop; the centred blue Size 5 nylon coil adds definition that reads crisp on finished pieces. It’s a neat way to introduce colour without crowding patterned fabrics—ideal for organisers, travel pouches, toiletry bags and everyday totes.
This is continuous nylon coil in Size 5 (5 mm)—dependable for bag making and general craft sewing. Nylon coil feeds smoothly under a zipper foot, is kinder to domestic needles than metal teeth, and flexes neatly around curves and boxed corners. The woven tape presses flat and accepts top-stitching cleanly for tidy, parallel seams.
Ordering is straightforward. It’s sold by the ½ metre; buy multiples and we’ll supply them in one continuous length, so you can cut exact runs for pockets and main openings with minimal offcuts. Each ½ metre includes one matching #5 teardrop ring pull in blue. Add extra pulls if you’d like a double slider or several shorter zips from the same length.
Colour pairing is versatile. The soft pink tape pairs well with natural linen, chambray, grey, navy and low-volume prints; the blue coil coordinates easily with nickel/silver-tone hardware for a modern finish, or contrasts pleasantly with brass for warmth. Because this is continuous zip, you control the configuration: feed sliders from either direction for single- or double-pull zips, trim precisely, and finish ends to suit your pattern.
If you value components that behave predictably and elevate the make with a small, deliberate detail, this contrasting zip earns its spot in the notions drawer—practical at the machine, durable in daily use.

Maker’s notes
-
Use a zipper foot and a steady, moderate stitch length for parallel top-stitching.
-
Basting tape keeps layers aligned; press lightly from the wrong side if needed.
-
You can stitch across nylon coil when a pattern requires it; avoid this on metal teeth.
-
To finish short ends, fold back the tape and stitch, or apply fray-prevention.
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.
