[@mariasmith9998]

Thank you for sharing this video. A friend asked me to help fix a broken zipper. I had no idea how to start . Til i saw your video. Thank you Amy you saved me and the day. Hope you have a great day.

[@raqueld4899]

I guess I'm the 2nd one to watch it. I love your videos. Thanks to you I'm teaching myself to use my sewing machine. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

[@craftyamy93]

Yay!! You're welcome!😄😄

[@williamsangster3119]

I am absolutely in love with you. You helped me fix my pants and I love your personality. Not to mention you are extravagantly beautiful! 😁🥰

[@JT105]

I'm super excited for this! My husband and I are short, so we frequently have to fold up hems on pants.

[@craftyamy93]

Ooh stay tuned!

[@justawfulgamer7738]

I know the struggle

[@deborahdewitt9017]

Dark pants and dark zipper make the vid hard to see exact detail.

[@Mel-gg3xg]

Thank you for making this tutorial! It's funny because my work pants I need to sew look exactly like the ones in the video!

4:07 If I don't have the zipper foot for my sewing machine, can I just use the pressure foot instead?

[@BradKandyCroftFamily]

I used to use the regular foot on mine when doing a zipper often. The zipper foot is generally used for invisible zippers. The regular foot might be a little harder to use, if, where you need the stitch, is close enough to the zipper that it ends up under the foot and lifts the foot off the cloth. Then you have problems with the cloth and zipper moving along the sewing machine properly. If that happens, you have to basically pull the fabric along like the machine would do it.

[@AlexSDU]

@@BradKandyCroftFamily I see. Thank you. I only learned making pants once, and that was over 20 years ago. But I do remember that we didn't use the zipper foot, Just the regular foot.

[@PiranhaJaw22]

that smile and that voice, and your talent. I am in love

[@craftyamy93]

[@wild-hernessaerialist6440]

You are adorable 😊 thanks for sharing!!! Trying to rescue a pair of retro ski pants!

[@craftyamy93]

Thank you ☺️ Of course! I hope it works out! :)

[@jadecummings8093]

Hey Crafty Amy, I'm first to watch your video and it's so amazing!

[@needleaddict7507]

Great tutorial! Thanks so much, I just used to to mend some broken trousers that would have otherwise been thrown away.

[@michaelsrowland]

I am trying to unpick the topstitch on a mans outdoor jacket to remove the zip, but it is difficult . What is the best way?

[@craftyamy93]

For really difficult stitches like that, if you have small thread scissors you’ll have to cut a thread at a time until it loosens.. I’m assuming it’s the backtac on it , it should loosen up after a few snips

[@michaelsrowland]

@@craftyamy93 I have found a video just on replacing a broken zipper on a jacket. But it's difficult

[@Ghazal7i7]

Thank u so much for this very helpful and informative video..

[@Nancita43]

Amy what is an easy way of understanding how to read and cut out a pattern

[@craftyamy93]

A commercial pattern?

[@msrubydoll26]

my son keeps doing that to his shorts. Great skill to learn thank u☺

[@craftyamy93]

Yay! You're welcome!

[@joeybrooks4353]

Cool video Amy. You did a great job. I’m proud of you.

[@LidiaOK]

How do you add a side zipper to pull-on pants? I bought these very nice dress pants at Kohl's and the fit is perfect, being very petite. However, these pants really should've been made with a zipper. I'd like to add one, if possible. Thank you. :)

[@craftyamy93]

Ooh that’s a good suggestion! Thank you!

[@lawrencejlittle]

I have some shirts that are 1/2 inch to big in the neck how do I reduce this what technique?

[@christinelapsley5386]

Just what I needed. Thanks.

[@gabbyb720]

I always find cute tops on clearance, but they are plus size! Is there a simple solution you have to downsize them??

[@dag1937]

Will you be making anymore videos

[@dashagreeva2580]

[@ahoyjasmin3282]

[@prettylegit123ily]

Haha I need solutions!! My jeans fit good in other areas but the waist band is an inch or two to big :/

[@chotudc675]

[@barbarag.5521]

Thanks.

[@tycumbie788]

I’m crushing like mad here! Helpful too!

It's really hard to do a zipper tutorial with a black pair of pants

[@parengzeydbeats6184]

Hello crafty amy!

[@janetcozens4623]

What a fantastic demo and I have also subscribed ty so much

[@realcoolbreeze]

Nice video.,Youre very pleasant and obviously a pro.Umm. I can handle fixing a jeans zipper that broke. Taking out a cheaper zipper and replacing it though entirely may not be my expertise as a man. On this I ll defer I think to another pro - such as yourself.

[@mariaryan3522]

Thank you!! My daughter was ready to trash it.

[@averysims760]

Her awareness is so cute

[@Amirkhan-ii3fi]

❤❤

[@patcarpenter7332]

Im trying to alter my daughter’s swimsuit and every time I see , there is loops on the bottom. It’s a mess! I have the most trouble with the where the straps are seamed together! HELP. Enjoy your videos!

[@craftyamy93]

Aww are you using a ballpoint needle? Did you check your tension? ..Thank you :)

[@mute760]

I'm in love.. why can't I find a girl like amy❤❤

[@alfonsojon1997]

🤔

[@pablovargas6606]

That's dificult.......

[@shaundurant7415]

She is sooo adorable. I wonder how old she is.

[@craftyamy93]

Thank you :) I’m 28

[@mjb47pappy]

"Sew the other side only the zipper with the facing, not the ???? " Not the what?

[@normanpeters6465]

How can anyone learn how to to do this if you are moving so fast. You have to remember that amateurs watch this too.

[@moonsister3515]

It's a great tutorial but I would suggest to turn the auto focus off cos it's a really informative video but there are times when we, the view, want to see what you are showing to us. Peace!

[@mariolegaspi681]

Why are you so beautiful?

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

I'm a guy...and I did this by hand. No machine. It's not too difficult, just time consuming.

[@Monah-u9f]

You are incredibly beautiful. Amazing tutorial

[@rprp7762]

there is no reason to waste the first 2 minutes of the video showing nothing. replacing a zipper is self explanitory as a title. just my opinion.

[@rojeanfuerte3460]

That big smile
