Question of the day: What are your tips for sewing invisible zippers? TBH they're still a pain in the butt for me so I would love to hear any tricks you have :D
Sorry April, no real tricks for invisible zippers. Do you have an invisible zipper foot, looks likes it might help. Take your time & practice, practice, practice😻
I use them on sofa pillows...1st sewing project outside of normal hand sewing repair items.
Tip:After the second one I found it much easier to use Heat Bond Tape to hold it in place.
Use as wanted in specific spots or the same length as the zipper after you're good with its position.
I fuse a fusable interlining strip alone edge of the seam before sewing the zipper. Its a trick I learned from the garment factory I interned at. I use a invisible zipper foot and sew it on industrial sewing machine. Also when there is seams like waist seams I sew one side first, close the zipper mark the wasit point on the other side of the zipper and pin that point to waist seam and sew that side.
Also when closing the bottom of the zipper I use a one side foot (left or right ) and sew close to the zipper joining. These tips give me store brought quality zippers everytime. All these techniques are from the factory I before said.
sharmika malwatte thank you! That was insightful 💕
one of the methods is shown here, they use a special foot th-cam.com/video/TvJ29arp7PQ/w-d-xo.html
this sewing channel is very popular in Russia. they made a second channel in English and translated some of their videos.
It would be interesting to know how much the finished pieces actually cost at the end. The $3.- are just the start. There is the draping fabric, thread , zipper and so on. It differs from outfit to outfit. I think it would be good to know the actual cost
Agreed! I want to know the end overall cost!
Normally zippers are $3, thread probably $.50 because you don't normally use a whole spool. Sealing fabric depends on where you get it. I normally thrift sheets for like $3 and get a couple square yards. Costs can change depending on where you get them, but those are my estimates normally :)
Zipper prices can vary widely. If you buy single zippers at JoAnns, full price, they can be a lot. But they do go on sale often. Also you can salvage zippers from garments that you are thrift flipping, you can buy zipper tape by the yard and add your own stops and sliders (colors are usually limited tho). Also April could be getting her zippers in the garment district of LA where they can be very cheap. I've also ordered zippers in bulk at a dry cleaner supply website and the prices are less than half of JoAnn's price. I even salvage the zippers from the plastic 'case' thing that a new comforter or blanket comes in. They are long and sturdy.
I agree with you.. like you said...
@@lestranged I never thought of those bag zippers! Thank you.
This is adorable! The sleeve makes the entire dress. I’d love to see the process for making your pattern with the muslin. 🥰
Yes me too! I love watching you go through your process and trouble shoot issues as they come up!
I just wanna say, as a long time viewer, it’s just so incredible to see how much you’ve grown and come into your own in terms of design and technique. It’s so inspiring!! Beautiful beautiful work ❤️
April as a long time subscriber, I can see how much progress you've made in your sewing and designs , I'm so inspired by your talent!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support all these years :)
It must be so fun to have tons of outfits that are originals!
The beautiful fabric makes the new dress so lovely. The puckered sleeves are a wonderful touch.
I was gifted my first sewing machine for Christmas last year and have started to design my own items slowly. So far, I’ve made a pillow and attempted to make an eye mask and hair tie. I need way more practice, but your videos continue to inspire me.
I really liked when you made your own version of a higher cost piece, etc.
Michelle Zaplitny more coming soon!
Can't believe that kurthi( an Indian outfit) is turned out to be this beautiful dress 🥰🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺🥺
menmylyf1234 right..... it turn out really good
This turned into a stunning dress. I am over the moon with the puckered sleeve! So good.
Love your paperweights as fabric weights! No pin holes anymore!
The puckered sleeves were a great creative element to the dress.
I love your videos, you are brilliant and stylish, and your stuff is just as much private designer as any couture, you just aren't as widely publicized. I love all of it.
There are a lot of youtubers who are now doing thrift flips but April is still superior!
As a beginner, I would love to see the muslin and pattern making process.
That sleeve technique is very cool- a big effect for not too much labor. Statement sleeves are the thing for spring.
A cute matching drawstring bag to go with your dress!
You never cease to amaze! This is the ULTIMATE sustainability channel 🌸💗
Adorable result!!
This is by far the most gorgeous $3 dress I have ever laid eyes on! It looks so beautiful! ☺️🥰
I really like the puckered effect on the sleeves.
I have the same body type as you and have always struggled with mass produced clothing and how they look on me, but you have given me so much inspiration. I've always been interested in sewing but you've lit a fire in me.
Love the kurta flip into a lovely dress.
So beautiful I LOVE it!!
I love thrifted transformations!
Im so inlove with the design
I'm inlove with the sleeves!!
It turned out So cute!!
The sleeves are my favorite thing too.
Hi April- Now that I watch your videos, my visits to the 2nd chance shops are WAY more pleasurable! I’m timid in my sewing and it’s refreshing to watch you work w/confidence!
A video that I would like to see, is the making of one of the old fashioned patterns that I see on Pintrist and then see it being sewn into the actual fashion design (maybe a riding coat, or tapestry vest, or one of the high-necked shirts w/ the pretty sleeves...something you can put a bit of a modern twist to).
Keep the videos coming and Congratulations 🍾 on your engagement!
Check out Bernadette Banner
Elizabeth Hunley Thank you for the suggestion! Very interesting!
