Your NEXT Zipper Fly WILL be Stress Free. Easiest Step by step in the whole wide world :)

- Today I am sharing the EASIEST way to sew a Zipper fly in the whole wide world. I promise. This method uses integrated front facings on the pant or skirt and this alone saves time and many many steps compared to other methods.
I am demonstrating this easy technique on a skirt but it will be the same on a pair of trousers. Come and join me for a full step by step tutorial and after you see how easy this is, I hope you try this way of sewing a zipper.
You can add the little template I show in the pattern to anything and you can even replace this for other more involved methods.
The skirt I am working on is the feature Friday pattern for tomorrow the 27th of August. The cute Glissando (Love Notions 0-32US) has pants, shorts & a skirt in ONE pattern & it’s $5 today. I’ve converted the original button fly to a zipper fly on my new skirt. My affiliate link is: www.lovenotions.com/product/g...

I don’t necessarily follow instructions rigidly. My opinions are honest, especially around fit and sewing techniques.

This is very easy thanks for sharing dear 👏
best tutorial thank u queen
Thank you! Wish I had found this tutorial before I made my jeans. Live and learn.
Fabulous! Thank you! I will try this.
Thank you very much for this tutorial, it was extremely helpful!!
Thank you, you explained it well.
You’re very welcome 😀
Excellent tutorial! Thank you, Karina.
Thank you very much... Followed your tutorial and my zip flap came out perfect
excellent as always. thank you
vogue 9361 fly zipper construction got me confused with a grown on facings.🤔.Thanks so much Karina for helping me unravel the mystery of such zippers.So much easier!
Thank you so much. This makes a beautiful fly zipper. I am putting the zipper center front on a jumpsuit and am adding a narrow artificial 'waistband' to finish the top.
Brilliant - thank you
Thanks for this great video. I recently made some itch to stitch pants and really messed up the zipper installation. This really clears things up. I just started another pair of pants and will definitely be following this video.
I love all your tips ~ and I even take notes while I’m watching, because even seasoned sewists can learn new things. Thanks for another fabulously helpful tutorial!
This is the only video that made it make sense for me and I did it! Thank you so much for sharing
Awesome as usual Karina.
Thank you for making this zipper the easiest installation I have ever done. I made three pants and each time the zip installation was the easiest most simply explained instruction demonstration and explanation I have received on Utube Well done. Great teacher.
I just finished my zipper installation following your video. It looks great and so easy to follow your instructions. Thanks so much.
Wonderful! It’ll get even easier once you do it over and over 😀
Thank you for sharing , fantastic technique , will definitely use this method 😊
Oh my gosh thank you!!! My pattern does not explain zipper install well and this is the only tutorial that has made sense!!!
You are so welcome!
Excellent tutorial
Thank you Karina. This is how I was taught in high school 45 +years ago. It is sort of a modified way we were taught to sew a lap zipper also. A lot of the older techniques have been lost over the years.
I have never done this type of zipper, so I am really happy to have a step-to-step tutorial how to do it the EASIEST way. Yay!!
Update: I just installed 2 zippers this way and I was successful!!!🎉🎉🎉 I have to admit that the first fly zipper came out a tiny bit crooked because I was too lazy to hand baste. I have learned my lesson! The second zipper fly I hand basted and it came out straight.
Thank for sharing, I just cut today a pant with the same extension, I love the basting you do my machine or by hands, a great tutorial, enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much. I actually only baste by hand. I feel I have more control :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles ❤️
Wow! What a great tutorial. Thank you so much. Pants are top of my list as fall approaches. Going to re watch your pant fitting videos. Thank you so much
Just in time for fall pants and long skirt sewing here in the US. It's elastic all summer for me! Now after your pants tutorials and developing my own perfect fitting pattern, it's time for real pants! 😉👖Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
I'm going to leave some timestamps for myself here 😊
12:28 start pants sewing example
13:00 cutting to the dot and serge edges
14:36 place zipper (skirt example, but pants has the same steps)
16:32 flip zipper and edge stitch
17:30 sew other side of zipper
19:45 top stitching zipper fly
21:48 open up zipper fly
22:51 sew in the shield
Thank you so much Karina. I was struggling this afternoon with my Largo pants zipper and I just new you would have a super helpful video. You saved my day❤️
Thanks Karina I have been waiting for this forever ❤ so happy
Thank you! I am making Ginger Jeans, and this video is perfect!!
Thank you Karina, your tutorial on adding a zipper to a intergrated fly really helpfull.
Karina you're an absolute blessing. I started watching this vlog before my reverse shoulder replacement this morning. I'm now in high care for the night and watching the rest of your video has cheered me up immensely!
I cannot thank you enough. It took my mind completely off my environment and the rehab that lies ahead. The only sadness is that I will only be able to cut and sew after 3-6 months! In the meantime I'll feast on other's achievements.
💓💓💓👌👏👏👏
Very neat and beautifully done. I don't like to snip either🙂
snipping hurts my heart lol :)
That technique is easier than others!
I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved to insert zippers. I love to undo the basting to see the almost completed zipper, and that it worked.
I can’t wait to see this skirt, your fabric is so pretty!
Fantastic. Thanks for showing us this method for zipper insertion. I haven't bought the Glissando until today.
Thank you so much this really work 👍
Glad it helped
Brilliant
Great zipper insertion tutorial. Thank you.
Oh Karina, I can't explain how happy this video makes me! I've always thought zippers were difficult and avoided patterns that include them (probably because most of my experience is the annoyance of replacing zippers in readymade garments), so this video is a real eye opener. Many thanks for the clear instructions and no, I wont tell anyone what the pattern might be... although it is already Friday here, so I might just go and have a look at you know where.
By far the best fly zipper tutorial I’ve seen! Brilliant Karina - thank you ❤️
I’m so glad you linked this video in your Taroko skirt video. I remember watching it when you first released it, but naturally I’d forgotten about it. I haven’t done a fly front for eons, when it came time to do the fly, I couldn’t work it out for the life of me. (Blame old people brain 🙄) these _how too_ videos are a really valuable resource 😊
I am making a boiler suit, but buttons are a hassle. This is the solution I was looking for! Thank you.
Love your videos. Thanks so much Karina.
Fantastic tutorial you are so good a explaining these kind of techniques thank you.
Thank you SO much for this video! I've been struggling to put a fly zip in. The vintage pattern instructions weren't helpful, nor were 3 books I consulted. But following along with this video, I had the zipper in within just about 30 minutes, and it looks great! I'll never install a fly zipper any other way. Thank you again!
Omg thank you for this for I've stayed away from zippers.....Would you PLEASE do a tutorial on stitching in the ditch....My bloody fingers will be grateful.
Thank you looking forward to trying this method!
Nice tutorial, this is the way that I like to do fly zippers too xxx
Awesome! I haven't done a fly zipper yet but I'm planning on sewing jeans this autumn and the easier I can make it the better. Thank you!
I saw this method two weeks ago with a sewing teacher named Judy Kessinger. I was amazed! She doesn't have it on a video though, so I am so happy you did! I couldn't remember how she did it. This will make my anxiety about using a fly in pants go away for good!!! Can't wait until tomorrow to see the rest of the project! Thank you soooo much!
Brilliant !
Fabulous. Thank you
Thank you!
Awesome info. Can't wait to try this on my Upland Trousers when I get to make them 😊
Thanks Karina! I have tried this general method but I didn't care for the results I got. I think your tips will make this more appealing! Looking forward to trying it again!
This is a brilliant video. Thank you. The fabric is beautiful. Do you know what it’s called please? Many thanks
I know you’ve said you can’t get Fray Check down there but that is the other option to use on the snipped area. :)
Hi Karina - thanks for another great sewing video, I'm going to give this a try today as I've been looking at refining my zip's so this is a good addition to learn the techniques. I have a question on another subject perhaps another video idea? When drafting my own patterns I've struggled to find a way to store them so that I can see them easily if needed and not take up too much space. I tried hanging them on hooks, but just don't have the room. A4 Envelopes I've got are too small - how do you keep track and store your own personal patterns so you can reuse again when needed?
My pattern Dnt call for any extra pieces.. when it comes to fly
Dear Karina, what size is the center seam? It looks like 5/8?
See at minute 3:20. It does not matter what seam allowance it is. Because this technique can be applied to any pattern, use the one the original pattern is drafted with.
I'm curious as to whether the measurement (1-3/4") you gave for the template are good for both men's and women's garments?
Yep. The size of the zipper does not change.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles - Thank you for your quick reply!
Unfortunately what i didn’t realise was that the fly section had to be cut at the time you cut the whole trouser leg. I had got stuck with a very poor pattern instruction and thought your method was a solution, and because of the interfacing - despite having watched the film twice before i did anything - it looked as if you laid the two fly pieces over the centre seam, and it was only when i turned mine inside out at the same time as yours and i had a seam allowance showing and you didn’t that i realised my mistake. Perhaps it would be good to show you cutting the fabric to make this really clear? Thank you anyway.
also really curious about why you don’t put pins at a right angle to the seam and sew straight over the pins? A lot less hassle than taking them out as you go.
I never put pins like you say because I don’t think they line up the raw edges accurately. It’s all preference and I don’t think I do is wrong per se. It’s been ok for me for a long time. I don’t film cutting out because it’s the only section of the process I do in my own time. Filming it all is super exhausting, but if you’ve never made sewing videos, you’d never know.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles i understand if it is time consuming, no i’ve never made sewing videos strangely enough, so perhaps make it clear verbally? I never said you did the pins wrong, i was simply curious. Sorry if i have offended you i was simply trying to flag up a problem i encountered, you did say you were open to constructive criticism and i wasn’t even criticising just making a suggestion and being curious…
.
Integrated facing is confusing because you didn't make any tutorial of how to make it
I showed exactly the measurements and how I added it to the Center front of the original piece. I don’t think it was necessary to see me cutting the piece of paper. Also, the length of the piece will vary with the length of the zipper needed.
