First fly zipper done
Tuesday, August 19th, 2014
The chinos are coming on well and will be finished this week – just have the waistband and hem to sew. They’ve been a little tricky, mostly because the pattern instructions aren’t very clear (in the end I’ve just winged it a bit) but I’m over the moon with the fly zipper. This is the first time I’ve tried one and I was a tad worried that it would be difficult, but it’s not at all. I did get a bit of a wobble on when I was sewing around the curve at the bottom,probably because I rushed it a bit but, unless someone is getting very personal, I don’t think it’ll be noticeable once I’ve got them on. I’ve still got the bar tack to do – this is just to reinforce the stitching across the seam to make it robust during repeated use, and then it’s done. I’ll be making loads of trousers now I’ve mastered this technique.
Watch out for my tutorial on sewing a fly – coming soon over on the Sassy ‘ssentials page.
