Today Project of the Day - Sewing a Zipper into a Dress
The Fashion Lab Dress Lab starts this evening and I am very excited to be teaching this class! We will be working on the pattern for the dress to the left. It's a fairly straightforward pattern, but the two challenging aspects of it will be learning how to do darts & zippers.
I found a great series of videos on Youtube demonstrating a super easy way to insert a zipper into a dress. Take a look here to check it out.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
People get really bogged down in the thought of inserting a zipper while sewing anything. It's really not difficult at all if you take your time and use a zipper foot. I think this video from Expert Village does a really good job of showing you just how easy it really is.
