Missouri Star Fancy Zip Projects: Zipper Pouches, Totes & More

Fasten your fabrics with some Missouri Star Fancy Zips! Made exclusively by us, our selection of decorative sewing zippers can make any project... well, zippy! We have bright, fun zippers in almost every color and pattern imaginable.

 

Unlike traditional zippers that stay hidden inside a seam, these are designed to be sewn directly on top of your fabric, allowing their decorative, patterned edges to take center stage as a featured part of your design. Because they sit right on the surface, they require minimal installation—making them the ideal, stress-free entry point if you are new to working with zippers.
