Hello friends, here is another standalone sewing technique video for you to have as a resource. This is hands down the easiest & neatest invisible zipper insertion in the whole wide world lol. Use this method on a side seam for a skirt or pants, the center back of a dress or fitted top and many more applications.
Come and join me for a practical episode today. Whilst not my fave zipper method, I do admit that it does look beautiful :)
The Encore skirt from Love Notions comes in sizes XS-5X and is 24% off through the 25th of December 2023. This is my affiliate link: www.lovenotion... Remember to use my code 10karina for an extra 10% off... even on top of sale prices.

This is so helpful. I’ve been afraid to sew an invisible zipper but this makes it seem very doable. Thank you!

You can do it. Practice on scraps and the seam ripper will always work to try again.

I've decided that this coming year is the one when I finally get over my fear of the zipper, and I expect I'll be coming back to your advice many times. Thank you for all your great videos, and wishing you all the best for Christmas and New Year. With the awful state of the world, isn't it nice that we can feel some connection with women in countries that seem far away, but really our planet is not that huge.

This is such a great tutorial, you really covered all the problematic parts. I have a love / hate with invisible zippers, like most people. Where they don’t have to cross another seam, they’re great. But once you have to cross another seam, oh my goodness! The force you have to use to close them, they’re like ticking time bombs waiting to split or jam. 😫

More pages because of all the options. I have the full skirt printed out but ran out of time to make that version..... ready for the future.

Great idea 💡, thank you. I go to a sewing school and one student there would call an invisible zipper a "secret zipper", I thought that was very cute. 😊

I made a long satin skirt in short order to wear to a wedding this weekend (floor length formal required, Argh!). Your instructions on the invisible zipper saved me! I literally had not put a zipper in a garment in 35 years!

Great tutorial as always! I do like invisible zippers. I have I skirt I made and wear A LOT and zipper is still holding. Never had one break on me thankfully. I've gotten pretty good at it (I do love the invisible zipper foot!) but have a hard time matching the sides so I will try your way next.

Very useful! Could you perhaps in the future make a video for skirts or dresses that have a zipper and a proper lining? (Not an underlining with just double fabric layers) I’ve searched for that kind of video forever but there does not seem to be any concernt that includes linings and zippers on KZfaq and honestly it does get a bit more complicated

I've heard other sewists say the same thing about invisible zippers, so I don't use them often. I don't have an accurate enough eye to get center zippers in the center, so lapped zippers are my thing. Isn't it great how many choices there are?

@thecpikas 8 ай бұрын

Thank you for the tutorial and I'll save it for later but for now, I'm going for center insertion 😊

I am making a pair of trousers after following your fitting instructions and making muslins I am at last ready to sew with fabric. I like trousers with a side zipper so am young to try an invisible one. I have one bought pair with a side zip and it has apiece of fabric which covers the zip in the inside, I would like to know how to achieve this.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 2 ай бұрын

Sounds like a zipper shield, it’s not something I can explain through a comment here but you can take you garment as a reference to create that piece. It gets sewn in after the zipper is done. I’m not a fan personally. The invisible zipper is already harder to manipulate and I would not want more layers there

@mrstokes5427 8 ай бұрын

Another great video. I also love the tips for the perfect finish at the top of the zipper/waistband. For a flawless centered application using a really cool trick with serger tweezers or a haemostat, I have had perfect results with the technique from Threads magazine (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ms-cgcyG3tuwYmw.htmlsi=QYoNrREPJrd8nOoB), but I will definitely be trying your method as well. Thanks again!
