    How to Sew an Invisible Zipper<\/h2>\n

    Many new sewers are intimidated by the thought of sewing zippers and especially the invisible zipper. \u00a0But let me tell you a secret – the invisible zipper is the easiest one because no one will see if your stitches are a little bit wonky and it doesn't go perfectly for your first attempt! \u00a0You can do it – let's give it a go.<\/p>\n

    First – take some video training. I highly\u00a0<\/i>recommend that you watch the free online video course from Craftsy –\u00a0Mastering Zipper Techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \"Mastering

    It's entirely free and the teacher is lovely. \u00a0She shows you how to sew a regular zipper, an invisible zipper and a lapped zipper over the course of several short lessons. \u00a0Watch them all, or just the ones you are interested in. \u00a0Then you will be well prepared when it comes to sewing your skirt zipper.<\/p>\n
