XYZ (Examine Your Zipper)

No not that kind of closure! I'm talking buttons and zippers!


Invisible Zipper

Creating an invisible zipper seems really challenging but I actually found it surprisingly self explanatory. You have to get a special foot for your sewing machine. After getting the foot you pin your zipper to your fabric where you want to install the zipper and make sure its unzipped as far as possible. Put the zipper side in the groove of your special foot and sew away! Do the same on the other side of the zipper.

 

Lapped zipper! Commonly found on pants, skirts and dresses. 


Hello again, jeans! Here's an example of a fly-front zipper.
