- Want to learn a great method for sewing a zip fly?
Zip flies on trousers and skirts can be a little fiddly, but our awesome pattern cutter Serefina, who has worked for many years for couture and high street fashion designers alike, showed me a brilliant approach which is relatively easy to do and creates a neat finish.
You can also use this video tutorial for many other sewing projects, not just the Ness skirt. But if you are making Ness, it’s a good idea to watch the video in tandem with referencing the instructions, as the instructions have more a few more details included in the text.

That music was so stressful, it was like 3 songs were playing at once
Endless loop music not needed, but preferable to speech and you just dug me out of an enormous hole caused by a useless pattern! Thank you❤
I've been a sewist for 50 years. I don't always get a chance to do flys, so having a beautifully executed video tutorial is always good to have on hand. This was BRILLIANT!!!
Hi Monique! That is so wonderful to hear :) Happy Sewing!
This music is irrrritating but the video is good
I like the music! Lol
Its fine at first but after 15 minutes x_x
I had to mute it
I'm only 3 mins into this video and I just have to stop and comment how much I love this technique and video is clear too see what you are doing. thanks soooo much!
Loved this video and will be a great help when making the skirt. Just wish you would have talked about it instead of the music xx sorry to who wrote the music
THANKYOU. Ive been trying to find out how to sew a fly for the longest time now and all the other videos ive seen make it look so difficult, but this was so straight forward and made it so easy to see everything cleary! Again, thankyou so much! I can finally make some official looking shorts! (:
That is fantastic! xx
Good points : Easiest attachment of zipper with fly I have ever encountered. No talk yet the written instructions were clear enough for me. I also greatly appreciate showing us the exact placement of the zipper from the edges when sewing it on the zip guard. This is a very detailed guide. Thank you very much. Edit : Thanks for the tips as well!
Bad points : Like every one else, not a fan of the background music. Also, maybe use a differrent text color because sometimes they hard to read on the yellow background.
Having watched a dozen other zipper You Tubes - all men's flys - this is the BEST and most informative and easiest to follow. THANK YOU.
This was so easy to follow, thank you! So pleased with my finished zip
Please come back! I’ve just discovered your videos are have to say ‘perfect’. Such clear and simple instructions, I can even see along. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for helping me not give up this is the ONLY zip fly video that made sense to me 💜
Wow, thanks for the tutorial. I had a skirt pattern but wanted a denim skirt, but couldn't afford to purchase a proper pattern. With your help it's done ✔️.
This is a big wow...
I love this!
This video is so perfect, well done and well explained
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for this very clear video! I followed along and my zipper came out perfectly!
Thank you so much, I'll give your video 100 likes if I could! This is indeed the easiest method. ❤
Thank you for making this tutorial very easy and clear for everyone 👍👍👋👋👋🤝🤝🤝

BEST ZIPPER FLY TUTORIAL EVER
I absolutely love this video.
It's a happy video. Or....maybe I'm a happy person. Or....maybe the video made me so happy that now I can sew a ziper on.
Love the cute song, the striped sleeves, the beautiful hands and how precise the video is.
Thank you so very much.❤🇧🇷
This video helped a lot girl! Thank you! I needed a refresher and this tutorial got me there!
Thank you! It's one of the best pictorial on this topic. I totally get it now!
Thank you. This method has been the easiest!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you! I’m so glad you did this video! I had given up doing a lapped zipper but you came to the rescue! The demo is awesome! Thanks again.
Thank you so much. I am very impressed with the zip in my skirt. It is easy to follow.
I really appreciate this
I have just bought your stretch book , in two days I have traced patterns and made a dress and joggers ,I am in heaven thank you. 70plus
Hi Carol! That is the most wonderful thing to hear. We're so glad you're loving Stretch! xx
You just literally saved my sewing career! :) hahaaha :) THANK YOU !! LOVE!
Can you make a video of a fly front zip for pants? This one is great!
Just what I needed. I’ve done zips other ways using written instructions and it was challenging. I want to try this method! Thanks for the video and clear instructions.
That's excellent to hear Anne! Hope you find it helpful x
Génial ! C'est super clair merci 👏👏👏💪.
Thank you so, so much! Such a neat job and so clearly filmed!
Yay! We're so glad you like it :) x
Very clear and easy to understand, thank you so much!
thank you so much for the tutorial! this was my first time sewing a zip fly (or pants for that matter) and you made it easy to understand!
Omg this is so much easier to follow! Thank you!!
Yay, that's so lovely to hear :) xx
@@TillyButtons I actually did it! I followed through step by step and succeeded! I have trouble making this at first and procrastinated in making them. I'm so glad I found this video. I have you to thank for. ❤
Tilly!!!! This is amazing!!! Viewers, if you start at 14:58 and pause exactly at 14:59, you can see the finished zipper without the HOORAY covering it. I'm so buying this pattern! Thank you thank you!
I followed along and it turned out amazing! thanks a lot
This is so detailed and amazing to follow thank you so much
Endless loop music - annoying. Great instruction, though.
Ugh! This was sooo soothing to watch 😤❤️❤️
Lovely and clear thank you
Thank you so much for this video it will really help me with my project right now! I had to mute the music
U are the best thank you so much
Thank you! Never done this before and I think this will be a great help. Fingers crossed 🤞😬
Hi Carly! We hope you find it helpful :) x
Tilly and the Buttons just used this tutorial and it worked so well. Really pleased with the results. Thanks
@@carlyb8546 That is the best thing to hear! Yay! xx
the contents are great, this is one of the easiest methods and most briefly explained contents I could find. But as everybody else says, please stop this music in future vids... I had to mute it as I couldn't stand it any longer. No music (maybe the sound of you explaining as well, or just the scissors cutting stuff and sewing machine), or at least some music variety would have been great.
Merci beaucoup beaucoup 👍🤩 c'est un travail magnifique que dieu vous garde vous m'avez sauvé 😍 prenez soin de vous.
Nice one!
zip zip hurray! made it!
Very good.
Good video giving the steps to sew a fly zipper. But the music!!! Egad!
Thank you❤
Great work i loved it 😍😍but ze music though...creepy🤔
The music was my favorite lol reminded me of old cartoons
THANKYOU previously I never fancied this pattern but after watching this I’m going to buy it and learn this technique looks so clear
Good ,the best
Fantastic video.. Thanks so much, Tilly....
You're welcome Deana! We hope it's helpful :)
Superb great . I love this technique . Sure I will do so
Best tutorial on a zip fly ever. But please, never again this horrible music. It makes me go insane.
It's fantastic. I love your courses.
Thanks Sara! xx
Brilliant clear tutorial! I spent literal hours trying to figure out how best to put zips into things... However, just the ambient sounds and the noises of the sewing machine would have been fine; the music was a bit loud and irritating.
So helpful, thank you
Fantastic thank you so much
good timing I have just cut mine out yaaaaeeee x x
Yay! We can't wait to see! xx
Que maravilha de vídeo, e que capricho.Parabens adorei.

Thank you so much, Tilly! Now I feel I can tackle the scary zip fly! xx
Yay! That's so exciting :) Glad you found it helpful! x
Great video. Muted music!
Thinks for video
Thank you
I love you
New Look slacks 6660. does a tuggar on the fly side. Taking a look at the problem, I noticed the machine did not catch the fly's (J) first two inches. The problem seems to be the first inch below the missed stitch area where the machine did begin catching the fly. Will seam ripping the front fly seam and stitching again with a baste work or does the belly area need work?
I love the video!! Please what's your sewing machine model😍😍
Hate that music😔
Yeah..😱.if it wasn't for the work I wouldn't finish it...
💕💕💕
where is the waistband video ??
What sewing machine di you used? TIA!😊
Bạn máy chừng nào mới song
👍👍👍
May I ask what sewing machine is used in this demonstration?
Hiya - we're using a Janome DKS100 :)
Gooooood! help me where the heck!! do I find (superskinny - buttonfly)
Super helpful video :) I hate to be *that person* but...some less headache-inducing music would be nice, especially for 15 minutes straight haha. Had to mute it and add my own in.
А какие размеры листочки? Длина ширина деталей? 😕🤔🙄
Great tutorial but would have preferred talking instructions . I found it a bit distracting having to read the screen quickly . Sorry didn’t like the music . Best video , I feel I can have a go now 👍
I stoped destroying design and nice buttonfly just for saving tiny tiny time
Horrible music
Very clear instructions, but why not use your voice instead of the music? It's a good thing there is a mute-button :)
Neafly done! But no easiest way! Music is very irritating!
Loved the video, but music was terrible. Seems like everyone in the comments agrees lol
what even is this music 😭😭😭😭
I thought the video was decent but the music about drove me crazy. Oh please redo this video without the annoying music.
zip fly is boooooooring, i want to feel buttons all the way, zip wall for no feeling
being a tailor is the worst job ever
