The skirt I'm making calls for a zipper. This is my first attempt at putting in a zipper. Thank goodness for YouTube as I found a video on how to insert a basic one.
I also had to Google my Kenmore sewing machine because I didn't know what the zipper foot looked like and fortunately someone had posted a photo of one.
The zipper isn't too bad considering this is my first go, but I have a little gap between the base of the zipper and the back seam of the fabric. I need to figure that out.

Parents are encouraged to volunteer every so often at Sophie's Kindergarten. I suggested to her teacher that we do a craft and she was more than game! So in December I'm going to go up and do some of these with the kids. Madame Styles said that they had some uncut foam at the school, but I thought it would be MUCH easier to pick up a couple of kits that have them precut!!
Zippers would terrify me :0)
ReplyDeleteThey look so hard. But this is coming from a non-sewer. Well, except sewing on buttons and repairing seams.
and you just reminded me that I need to start thinking about some activities for Evan's holiday school party.
