I'm posting this a little early in case anyone wants to do it tonight!
Today we'll put the zipper in on the right side of the skirt. When you put the zipper in, don't catch the lining; keep it loose. You'll hand sew that down tomorrow.
I won't reinvent the wheel here. There are a lot of good invisible zipper tutorials available online, and I've made a step by step video for the coffee date dress sew along that you can view here. I would recommend following this invisible zipper tutorial from sewiknit.blogspot.com. Consult this tutorial and watch my video, and then follow the steps below:
 |
| Iron the zipper teeth flat. |
 |
| Pin the zipper in place. The top of the zipper should reach the top of the fabric (and will ultimately be encased by the top seam). Treat the bow piece as part of the waistband (just let it fold back on the back of the waistband). |
