I literally just replaced a zipper in a fleece jacket for the first time yesterday. Fumbled through it and was grateful I could just reverse the steps I took to remove the old one 😅

Love the use of decorative elastic at the neckline and bottom of the jacket. Thanks for a great tutorial!

Agreed! The elastic adds such a nice touch to the garment.

Beautiful jackets and great tutorial! I'd forgotten about the flatlock hem capability of my serger and will have to try that soon. One thing that helps me line up zippers is to make a mark on each side of the zipper to match with a seam (or plaid) so that when the zipper is closed (after basting), everything matches up the first time.

As always, fantastic tutorial. I promised a hubby a similar style jacket, and i have been delaying because I didn't want to do zipper with fleece I think he may get one soon :D

You can totally do it, I believe in your abilities 100% and I am sure he will get his jacket pretty soon :) post a picture when he does!

Hi Alisa, I always love and appreciate everything you do. I always love the way you explain things in a simple and easy way. If you don’t mind, could you please teach us how to draft and sew a zipper with a lining for a simple sweater. I appreciate as always.

Great tips for reusing and fitting sleeves. As for pocket, I've taken pockets off before, and if you scratch over line of stitching, then give it a shot of steam if can make them look alot less visible and in some cases take them away all together. Keep up your vids there great and very educational. Thank you.

I had a hoodie, that I didn't use often, so 1 day I decided to put a separating zipper in it and I gave it to my daughter for school because she used to feel cold with the AC 😊, but I also have 1 of my husband's hoodie but idk why I am feeling nervous to do it with that one for me 🙈😂😂😂

With the cuffs on this one did you use the 80% less than the wrist circumference? Sometimes I have trouble when I draft my own patterns when not using ribbing. 😊

Hey, will installing the zipper "closed" maybe help to get it right?

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 ай бұрын

Hello there, try it, if it works for you, but I always find it way easier doing it one side at the time, both while pinning/basting and while under the presser foot of a sewing machine :)
