How to sew a zipper to a sun skirt. How to sew a hidden zipper

Good afternoon, dear readers. You probably know that every woman should strive for continuous development, study, try something new and useful. That is why today we will talk about how to sew a zipper into a skirt correctly step by step.

Stages of flashing a hidden zipper

Now we will talk about a method that will help to quietly sew hidden zipper to a skirt. The main convenience is that it does not matter at all where exactly the lightning will be located - in front, behind or on the side.

Product preparation

The chosen technology assumes the following steps:

1. In the place where the sharpening will be machined, the fabric is folded into two layers. In this case, an allowance of 1.5 cm from the edge is made and a seam line is drawn. The product must be swept away, focusing precisely on this mark.
2. Then, you need to overcast each edge separately. After that, iron the seam, straighten it and iron it carefully.
3. The lock is applied with teeth down from the wrong side of the skirt. It is necessary to make sure that the teeth are aligned with the middle of the seam. And the slider should coincide with the hem line of the upper cut of the product.

After that, it's time to start step-by-step sewing on a metal or iron hidden zipper:

1. The slider is pulled to the front side, after which the lock is fixed with pins across, right under the teeth. This should be done carefully so that the fabric does not move.
2. The next step is to make a seam in the middle. To do this, it is enough to baste the zipper to one layer of the hem.
3. After that, the pins are carefully removed, and the clasp opens to the very end.
4. Using a special foot for a hidden lock, which bends the edge with teeth, you need to grind one side. The same operation is done on the other side. And if the fabric is sliding, then the lock is stitched from above.
5. On the wrong side (about 1 cm down from the lock), a fixing seam is made. After that, the back seam is sewn to the very end, but very carefully.
6. It remains only to turn the upper part of the skirt, and at the end - to process and hem the hem.

We also invite you to watch the video below. Thanks to him, you can learn how to quickly sew a hidden zipper into the side seam:

Skirt with a belt: how to sew a zipper into a skirt yourself

Have you ever sewn a skirt with a belt? If not, then be sure to try and do not worry about how to sweep the zipper correctly. It's not hard at all if you stick to it. simple rules. Namely:

1. At the very beginning, the blank belt is folded in half along the length. After that, it must be carefully ironed with an iron (it is possible through gauze), and then - stitch one side of the skirt to the upper cut.
2. With the help of pins, the upper edge is necessarily fixed where the belt is bent. Everything is neatly tucked in, but at the same time, the seam where the hidden zipper will be attached is not stitched now.
3. At the next stage, the clasp is sewn in. Do not forget to sew the back seam so that the resulting "design" holds well.
4. Now it's time to bend the belt over the ironed place and sew it on completely.

Important. The side seam, which should close the fastener, is sewn on by hand in this case.

If you sew a hidden zipper into a skirt with a belt in this way, then it will not be visible at all. In addition, it will take quite a bit of time even for a beginner needlewoman. You just need to be careful and show a little patience.

Tip from the pros: how to sew a regular zipper

Very simple instruction, allowing you to sew a zipper into a skirt without any hassle:

1. With the usual construction, two parts of the skirt are sewn together in the place where the zipper will be. Then the seam is unfolded, and the fabric is gently ironed with a low temperature iron.
2. A lightning is applied to the place of the seam (from the unfolded fabric). It must be fixed in a level position with ordinary tape or double-sided adhesive tape.
3. With a sewing needle, the zipper is fixed on the outside of the skirt. After that, the zipper is stitched, and the adhesive tape is carefully removed from the fabric.
4. With the help of a ripper, the very first seam is carefully removed. After that, the lightning is completely ready for use.

We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with an additional video, which will discuss how to properly stitch an open zipper into a sun skirt:

Sew in a lined zipper without sewing the seam

This procedure is a little more difficult to perform than all the previous ones, but still possible. To do this, follow the following instructions:

1. The sides of the fastener are aligned, and then the marking of its length is made. It is necessary to leave 2 cm of excess lightning.
2. Then the first part of the braid is sewn to the markings on the skirt. After that, the second part of the zipper braid is sewn on.
3. Before stitching the seam near the braid, the zipper must be closed.
4. At the next stage, the skirt is connected to the prepared lining. In this case, the length of the cut for the fastener in the lining and in the skirt must match.
5. Next, the seam is carefully bored. After the done procedure, the sides of the fastener on the skirt itself and the lining should be the same length.
6. It remains only to grind the lining to the allowance for attaching the lock and at the same time form the top of the product in the fastener area.

At the end of the article, I would like to please you with another master class in which an experienced craftsman will show you how to sew a zipper into a skirt (tulle):

Until we meet again, dear readers. May everything be easy for you!

Good day, dear sewing lovers!

The zipper is the most common closure for skirts.

To date, there are several options for making fasteners - zippers on a skirt. The choice of method depends on the stylistic features of the model, on the place on the skirt where the zipper is planned to be made, sometimes it depends on the properties of the material from which the skirt is sewn, but in no case is the choice of method carried out according to the principle “here it is easier, simpler, faster - I will choose this method. The methods are not the same.

Here are the ways:

1. Closed zipper in the seam, where the edges of the product are butted to each other.
2. Closed zipper in the seam, where the edges of the product are butted to each other, sewn by hand.
3. A closed fastener in the seam, where the zipper is shifted under one of the fastener edges.
4. Open zipper in the seam.
5. Open zipper not in seam.
6. A fastener on a secret lightning.

Closed zipper in the seam, where the edges of the product are butted to each other.

Until recently, this method of making a zipper on a skirt was the most popular, the most used. Nowadays, he is in full swing "on the heels" with a hidden zipper (see below in the article).

From a technological point of view, there is nothing complicated in making a zipper in a seam, where the edges of the product are stuck to each other. I put a zipper under the ironed seam allowances and scribbled. "That's the whole story."

However, in making a zipper on a skirt in this way, there are several subtle components that, nevertheless, greatly affect the result. As the proverb says, "The devil is in the details."

The most, not that difficult, no, rather a vulnerable “site”, in this whole process is the execution of the last and most important line - postponing the frame around the lightning. Regardless of how it is made, the clasp will work, definitely. Well, what is there, around the zipper, the material can be strongly tightened, the line is not even .... many people can live with it, I can't.

Today I want to offer you, dear sewing lovers, such a method of making a closed zipper in a seam, where the edges of the product are butt to each other, which will allow, if not ideal, to make such a fastener, then at least come close to ideal.

Zippers, which will be discussed later in the article, are performed on the skirt in the middle seam of the back panel (in the center of the back panel). Both sides of the finished fastener, left and right, look the same.

First of all, since there will no longer be another, more convenient opportunity, cuts of seam allowances on both parts (on the left and right halves of the back panel) are processed from shedding.

And immediately we determine the location of the snake (a slit for a zipper).

From above, we take into account the seam allowance (from 0.7 cm to ∞ (according to the model)). And yet, the upper zipper stops should be 3 - 5 mm below the seam line at the waist.

From below, the end of the cut for the zipper should be below the lower limiter of the snake and even below those, albeit insignificant, but still the remnants of the zipper teeth below the limiter, which we inherited from its production.

Only by stepping back from obstacles by 0.5 cm, we thereby give the sewing machine freedom of movement. Indeed, on a woven ribbon, it will be much easier for her to lay a line, the more difficult it is to “crawl” along metal or plastic parts.

To the bottom mark, we connect both sides of the back panel with a machine stitch (threads in the color of the base material).

At the mark, we finish the line with a bartack.

we also grind the details with a machine, but temporary, auxiliary line (the threads are contrasting with the main color tone products). The stitching is done without bartacks at the edges.

If the material from which the skirt is sewn is not obedient, and you already understand that it will not give an even and beautiful line, you will have to stabilize it with a suitable adhesive cushioning material. For this, non-woven strips 1 cm wide are suitable, and the length is the length of the cut under the zipper to the mark, plus 1.5 - 2 cm.

We reinforce the material of the main parts with strips of adhesive pad (butt to the line of the auxiliary line).

If the fabric is even more "obstinate", you can also strengthen the seam allowances along the cut.

We iron out the completed seam.

In the place allotted to her, face down on the ironed seam allowances between the main parts, we lay the zipper.

First we take a hand stitch. The zipper can be glued onto the allowances with textile glue, with a special basting adhesive tape, with a special glue stick, etc.

Then, if there are no traces of needle punctures on the fabric, the zipper can be “tacked” with a machine stitch. The line is laid in the edge of the zipper ribbons, arbitrarily, with contrasting threads. The main thing is that it keeps the material from wrinkling.

The last and most important thing left is to stitch the frame around the zipper. In order for the line to turn out to be even, it must be laid using some kind of guideline. For example, a stitch line can be marked with marking tools, basting stitch, hand or machine. As a guide, you can use the details of the foot and the sewing machine. Etc.

It is impossible to lay a line along the zipper at the zipper lock. When making a frame around the zipper, the sewing machine will need to be stopped to move the zipper up or down the chain of closed teeth. Since the cut remains stitched for the time being, the zipper lock can be easily moved when the lock knob is turned up. She doesn't and that easily moves through the lightning.

The sewing machine needle must remain in the fabric (down position) and the presser foot must be raised.

The line around the zipper is laid at a distance of 0.4 - 0.7 cm (depending on the properties of the fabric and on the size of the links of the zipper) from the line of the middle seam on both sides. The stitch width of the line must be at least 3 mm. The wider the stitches, the better the zipper stitching will end up looking. The stitching is done with threads in the color of the material. Unless, of course, the opposite is intended as a finish.

The line is laid using a special foot - a foot for sewing lightning. Such a foot, as a rule, comes in a set of mandatory sewing tools to almost everyone sewing machines. Feet from manufacturers of different sewing machines differ significantly in structure and shape. But they all work on the same principle. They allow the sewing machine to lay a line along those places on the product that, for one reason or another, but rise above the working surface of the sewing machine.

First, the line is laid along the left side of the back panel from top to bottom.

Then, at the mark (end of the cut), leaving the needle of the sewing machine in the material, and raising the foot, turn it 90⁰

and perform a small section of the bottom of the frame to the desired width.

The width of the seam on the other side of the frame should be exactly the same as on the first. Therefore, the last stitch of the line laid along the bottom of the frame may have to be increased or decreased (according to the situation) in order to "fit" into the desired parameters. For example, the previous, transverse stitch is 4 mm long, and the next one is already 3.

To accurately get to the right size, when performing a transverse stitch, you should stop, leave the needle in the material, raise the foot, turn the product 90⁰ and thus check the distance.

Having completed the transverse line, we finally turn 90⁰ and now from the bottom up we continue to carry out the right side of the frame.

We remove all auxiliary hand and machine stitches. And here it is in front of you, a finished closed zipper in the seam, where the edges of the product are butt to each other.

All "secrets" can be neglected if the fabric is obedient and easily detachable. For example, medium density and very dense cotton fabrics, linen, denim, twill, natural fiber gabardine, etc.

Closed zipper in the seam, where the edges of the product are butted to each other, sewn by hand.

On many complex fabrics, such as satin, or on fabrics with pile, fleece, etc., for example, velvet, velor, panne velvet, corduroy, fleece, etc., stitching a zipper is fraught with great difficulties. Machine stitching around the zipper on these fabrics is too messy. appearance sewn product, crushing an ugly pile (bouffant, etc.) or fairly powerful material.

When sewing a skirt from such fabrics, the zipper for the fastener can be sewn on by hand.

First, as in the first case (see above in the article), we connect two parts with stitching lines, in the seam between which a zipper will be made. Up to the line of the “slit for the fastener” mark, the stitch with a bartack at the end is sewn with threads in the color of the material, contrasting above.

The completed seam is ironed out.

We put lightning in the place allotted to her,

tack (glue, etc.)

The stitch with which the zipper is sewn to the product is a hand stitch with loop stitches, in other words,

From the front side, 1-2 threads are hooked with a needle, from the inside, the stitch length should be no more than 6 mm.

In principle, any of the options for making a zipper on a skirt provided in this article can be done by hand stitching. If, of course, there is a need for this.

Closed fastener in the seam, but the zipper is shifted under one of the fastener edges.

Performing a zipper on a skirt in this way, we kind of hide the zipper under one of the folds of the fabric. Lightning tends to move under left side fasteners, although this is not a strict rule.

A closed fastener in the seam, where the zipper is shifted under one of the edges of the fastener, is performed either in the side seam, which occurs more often, or in the middle seam of the back panel of the skirt.

We begin the implementation of the “zipper in a skirt” project with: 1) processing the cuts of the allowances of parts in the seam, between which the fastener will be located, 2) marking the length of the cut for the fastener (marking features can be found in option No. 1 of the zipper on the skirt (see . above in the article)).

Again, if the fabric is slippery or very plastic, etc., stabilize its mobility with a suitable adhesive pad. On the left side, 1.5 cm wide, on the right - 1 cm. On the right part of the back panel, we stabilize only the material of the main part, on the left, the entire area, including allowances.

If the fabric is not very obedient, we “glue” and allowances.

To obtain an even fastener, we “draw” a few auxiliary lines with a sewing machine. (Threads are contrasting to the main fabric).

Seam line on both pieces

and the hem lines of the allowance on the right part.

The last line should be at a distance of 3 mm from the seam line on the right side.

Seam allowance on the right side along the line "end of the snake"

we cut, not reaching the seam line in which the fastener is made, 1 - 2 mm.

Having folded the allowance along the hem line, we note its part on the wrong side.

The formed fold is ironed.

We put a zipper under the right part

so that the fold of the allowance along the entire cut line on the right part lies exactly butt against the chain of zipper teeth.

At a distance of 2 mm from the fold, we lay a machine line, which adjusts the zipper to the edge of the cut on the right side. (Threads in the color of the fabric).

And a skirt. It can serve not only for its intended purpose, but simply as. Zippers are sewn along the midline of the back, or shelves, into the side seam, pockets, codpiece, and so on. Vertically, horizontally, obliquely, in an open and hidden (secret) way. Colors can be selected as appropriate fabrics, as well as contrasting ones. Hidden zippers, as a rule, are accurately matched in color and shade.

In contact with

Threads for stitching, if there is no task to emphasize the presence of a fastener, are also chosen exactly to match the fabric. The number of threads is the same as required for sewing this fabric, in the case of finishing stitches, the thread is taken thicker.

Materials and tools

To work, you will need the following fixtures and fittings:

• threads;
• sewing needle;
• safety pins for pinning and sweeping;
• sewing machine;
• special foot;
• gasket to strengthen the edge (non-woven or).

The shops now have a large selection of materials. If the lock is sewn into products made of dense fabric, then there will be no problems, but when installing a secret lock on a stretchy knit material or very thin fabric, you will need a doubler. This is a strip of lining material that has a very thin thickness, a thin adhesive layer is applied to it.

Before installing the zipper along the line, where a line is supposed, a doubler is swept. Such a lining is applied with the adhesive side to the material, then fastened with a preheated iron. This procedure prevents the edges of the fabric from stretching. With good gluing, the zipper will be sewn well and look neat.

How to sew a hidden zipper to a skirt

To begin with, if you have never done this operation before, then it is better to try to sew a lock on some unnecessary product or a separate fragment in order to gain some experience. After you are convinced that you can do this, you can start working with the main product.

Advice for inexperienced dressmakers: it is easiest to sew the lock into the back seam of the product, since if the fastener is sewn on the side incorrectly, the fabric can get skewed, and symmetry will be lost. . On the back seam, it will not be very noticeable., since it is more symmetrical, sewing the necessary lock there is much easier than in the side.

Procedure:

It is necessary to hide the presence of the fastener as much as possible, so stitching it discreetly and carefully is a very important procedure. At the same time, the lightning should move freely, do not get stuck or break from too close stitching. Its length varies depending on the size and design.

An incorrectly sewn zipper can deform the product. In addition, if the fabric is too thin (also very elastic and thin jersey), then the end of the fastener may stick out angularly, in this case it is preferable to sew a lock along the center line of the back. Therefore, learn to sew locks correctly.

Various options

The procedure for sewing fasteners to a skirt with a belt

In the event that the skirt has hooks or buttons, then the beginning of the zipper should be located under the belt. If the belt does not have any, then the zipper is sewn from the topmost line. In this case, the fastener is sewn from top to bottom. With this approach, it will not deform the fabric, and it will be much more convenient to install it.

After the lock has been attached, the upper edge must be masked under the belt. To do this, you can tuck the edges of the lock and flash it. Sometimes pieces of fabric are superimposed over the clasp. This is done so that the lightning does not create unpleasant moments in the form of scratching the back.

When placing a side hidden fastener, there are some nuances. There is symmetry in the back seam, so it stretches evenly to both edges. If the lock is in the side seam and sewn carelessly, then the skirt will be skewed, and the fabric will gather in waves. These shortcomings will spoil the picture. Therefore, the zipper is the final element of the skirt.. When installing it, you need to be careful. It must be maximum.

How to sew a lock into a skirt without a belt

If the product does not have a belt, then the choice of fastener must be made in such a way that there are no incidents in the form of unfastening, that is, the zipper must be tight. The stitching process will be carried out as follows:

1. First you need to sew a zipper.
2. Then fold over the top edge of the skirt.
3. Hem the canvas on a typewriter, masking under the fabric.
4. The teeth should be at the same level with the edge of your skirt.

Stitching a fastener into a seamless skirt is very easy. In this case, the condition must be observed: on the lower part of the zipper, in the place where it ends, the seam must be carefully applied.

There are ways to install locks without application sewing machine i.e. manually.

How to sew into a pleated skirt

When sewing a skirt with pleats, more experience and skills are required. Sewing a fastener into the pleat of a skirt is a painstaking process, so you should be patient. Only well enough familiar with sewing business the dressmaker can do it neatly without a hitch.

When cutting out products, it is necessary to leave a cut for the fastener in the seam, the length of which should be equal to the length of the lock with an allowance of two centimeters.

1. First of all, you need to smooth out the seam allowances.
2. Then you need to make a fold by one centimeter.
3. At the next stage, remove this fold and bend again, but only to a different distance, equal to 1.3 centimeters.
4. Then you need to pin the zipper to the skirt behind the folded fabric: where the fabric lies in 1 layer. The teeth should be located close to the fabric, and the teeth should recede 2 centimeters from the top of the product.
5. Next, you need to make a basting of the seam along the zipper and stitch it between this seam and the teeth. The second side should be pinned 1 centimeter from the fold of the fabric.
6. And, finally, sweep the fastener, then stitch it so that the seam is close to the teeth (at a distance of two or three millimeters).
7. Remove excess threads and make a line across the seam to secure the hidden fastener from below.

Try to sew such a zipper on an old product, if you can’t do it the first time, practice and you will succeed.

How to sew a metal zipper into a skirt

Zips made of metal, are used not only to perform the function of a fastener, but also to give additional decor to products. In the latter case, zippers are sometimes sewn into the skirt, and sometimes superimposed on top. In this case, the color of the fastener can be in contrast to the main color of the fabric or be selected to match it. Beginning dressmakers are advised to choose a color of the zipper in the same shade as the skirt and sew it in from the inside out.

Before installation, you must first baste the clasp on the product, as when working with a conventional plastic zipper. The main condition: the teeth must be visible from the face, so you need to step back about five millimeters from the edge of the fabric.

Nuances when working with knitwear

When working with knitwear the technology for installing the fastener is the same, but requires a little preparatory work:

• purchase of a special needle for sewing knitwear with a rounded end;
• selection on a small piece of fabric step length;
• line check;
• gluing with non-woven or doubler lining.

Hello, my dear readers of the Shake with me blog. If you are thinking of sewing a skirt or dress, you will probably have a question, how sew a hidden zipper. If you've never done this before - don't worry, it's easy!! The main thing is to be attentive and pay attention to those details, which will be discussed below.

Now we will learn how correctly sew a hidden zipper into a skirt.

As a rule, hidden zippers come in two sizes: length 19 and 50 cm.

The zipper should be 2 cm longer than the cut under it on the skirt or trousers. The excess is cut off.

Before sewing the zipper to the other side of the cut, we close it and cleave it with a pin so that the points of the belt on the product (or peplum, for example) coincide.

Then carefully sew the other side of the zipper with large oblique stitches.

You can't just sew with a straight stitch by hand. Such a seam will not protect the zipper from tearing when we sew it on a typewriter.

So just an oblique seam.

We check whether everything matches exactly on the front side and there is no skew on the belt or peplum.

You will need special hidden zipper foot. (see photo below)

You can help yourself and move the needle a little bit using the zigzag function on the typewriter.

This way you get a really invisible hidden lightning.

We cut it after the cut mark on the skirt, leaving another 2 cm. We do the backtack manually.

We hem the seam at the bottom of the zipper close to the zipper so that there is no hole. If it is not convenient on a typewriter, we hem it manually.

We cut off the excess length of the zipper and do the bartack by hand.

We iron the area with a zipper.

All! Lightning is ready!

A hidden zipper is indispensable when you need a fastener invisible from the front for a dress, skirt, bag. It is not so easy to sew it in correctly without deforming the product. What you need to know to sew a hidden zipper?

Hidden zipper features

Features of a hidden zipper are that it hides in the seam of the product, and only the slider remains on the surface. In the usual one, it is located on the side of the teeth, in the hidden one, on the back side. But do not confuse, some ordinary zippers also have teeth hidden under the braid. You can distinguish it this way: in a hidden zipper in the open form, the teeth can be easily bent, while in other species it is not.

How to choose the right hidden zipper? Pay attention to the width, type and density of the base material. The lighter the fabric of the product, the thinner the zipper is chosen. The length should be 2-3 cm longer than the planned length of the fastener.

Iron the zipper before work. If it is on a cotton tape, it is done with steam. The fact is that the zipper tape can stretch or shrink and wrinkle the fabric in the finished product.

"Hidden" sewing foot

To attach a hidden zipper, a special foot is used, which allows you to attach it as close as possible to the teeth. It does not always come with a sewing machine, but is sold in specialized stores. It differs from the usual one in the shape of the sole: on the surface of the product there are grooves or grooves for the lightning spiral.

To choose the right foot, take with you to the store any that is suitable for the sewing machine. Paws different models have design features:

• on the "leg";
• with removable sole;
• with screw fastening.

They can also be metal or plastic. Metal models will last longer. Plastic is a less durable material. Over time, such a foot is deformed by a needle or machine bar teeth, and its sliding worsens. But if the foot is needed for a one-time job, then a plastic product will do.

What do you need to work

To sew a zipper, you will need:

• zipper;
• chalk
• ruler;
• tailor's pins;
• needle and thread;
• "hidden" paw.

Before starting work, check the tension of the upper and lower threads in the machine. If it is strong, then loosen it, otherwise the zipper will puff up after stitching.

Do not use too thick needles and threads for stitching.

Non-woven strips

Sewing a zipper so as not to stretch the fabric is easy. It is necessary to glue the seam allowances in the place where the zipper is sewn in with the help of non-woven strips. For this purpose are intended:

• formband - an oblique non-woven trim with a central stitch, which is used on oblique cuts or for knitwear and is glued so that the central line coincides with the seam marking;
• contenband - a non-woven adhesive strip, cut in a straight line, which is glued 1 mm beyond the seam marking.

If there is no formband or contenband, strips are cut out of non-woven fabric: for oblique cuts and knitwear along the oblique, for straight lines - along the straight line.

How to sew on a hidden zipper

To sew a hidden zipper, perform a series of sequential steps.

The first stage - preparation

1. Measure from the inside 1.5 cm from the cut of the fabric and draw a line with chalk on both sides.
2. Glue to the allowances at the place where the strips of non-woven fabric are sewn in - a form band or a conten band. If the fabric is rough and dense, you can do without interlining.
3. Baste the seam according to the markup.
4. Overcast the cuts with an overlocker or by hand.
5. Iron the seam. In this case, first iron the seam on one side, and then iron it on different sides.

The second stage - basting

1. Attach a closed zipper in the center to the stitching point, make chalk marks on the seam allowances and the zipper tape symmetrically on both sides in two or three places. They will be needed to more accurately sew a zipper. The top of the fastener should match the mark of the top seam for attaching a belt for a skirt or neckline, if this is a dress.
2. Insert the pins along the marks across the fastener and fasten the zipper with seam allowances under the teeth.
3. Baste the zipper over the seam allowances, piercing only one layer of fabric.
4. Remove the pins, remove the seam basting, open the zipper.

The third stage - stitching

1. Sew the zipper on the machine using a special foot until it rests on the fastener. If there is no special foot, use the usual one. Then you need to manually bend the lightning spiral and make sure that the seam goes as close as possible to the spiral, but does not damage it. If there is little experience, then it is better to attach both sides from above in order to prevent skew.
2. Zip up and make sure everything is done correctly.
3. Continue the side seam so that the bottom bartack is not visible. It should be 0.5-0.7 cm below the end of the seam.
4. Delete note.

Features of sewing in a hidden zipper

Depending on the specific product, fabric, cut and sewing place, there are some nuances. Described below various options zipper stitching.

Bag, pillowcase

The easiest option to sew a zipper into a bag or pillowcase is to sew a zipper to the cut, but not sewn parts, and then assemble the product. The zipper should be 5 cm longer than the fastener. Instead of tacking, a glue stick for fabrics is also used.

1. Marking is applied to the front side of the product.
2. Lubricate the allowance with glue.
3. We impose an unzipped zipper with the slider down, combining the spiral with the marking line and press it with a hot iron.

In order not to stain the ironing surface, place paper under the part. After that, it remains only to sew a zipper on a typewriter and assemble the product.

Seamless skirt

1. The first step is to mark the place for sewing in the zipper.
2. We carefully cut the fabric to the length of the fastener, adding 5-7 cm.
3. We duplicate (glue) the sections with a suitable non-woven tape, overlay the sections.
4. We sew a zipper.
5. The rest of the incision is closed with a suture.

Dress

If the clasp in the dress starts below the neckline or armhole, the seam before the clasp starts to open is ground in advance. We carefully combine the details along the waistline, especially in detachable dresses.

Important! If the fabric is cut on an oblique or the cut is curved, duplicate the allowances with non-woven tape. We do the same with thin and knitted (stretching) fabrics.
