How to sew a zipper fly | Wardrobe By Me | We Love Sewing

[@TimothyEdDoran]

Fantastic instructions. Other pattern instructions seem to be in precise, and confusing or a bodge. This is great. Thanks

Thank you very much, one of the best fly zip insertion videos I've ever seen. Greetings from North Wales UK 😊😊

So glad you like it ♥️

Thank you for this very clear video! Helps me to gain courage to make the Hepburn pants 😊. Perhaps it would be even more useful to direct to the video explanation in the pattern? I read the pattern instructions, but either missed it or no reference to the videos was present. Luckily, I learned from someone else that Wardrobe by me had explanation videos 😊

Thanks for this. I purchased the men's wbm chino, but have been nervous to try. it would be nice if you added that to the list! 😀

With this video and the two videos "how to sew welt pockets" and "how to sew side pockets" you can easily sew vthe Chino's.

@@Wardrobebyme I finally made the WBM Chino, they came out ok for my first time. Could you suggest a fabric type I should use? For my first pair, I used a stretch cotton twill, which worked well. I am just having trouble when it comes to finding the right fabric.

Great instructions. I have two comments: - In your pdf (man's Chino pants), in step 13 (p15), it says "Turn the piece right side up, and topstitch from waist to crotch 2 mm on the *right* side of the center front line." Shouldn't that be "the left side", as it is noted in this video? Unless you talk about the seamstress' point of view, instead of the wearer's. - In the same pdf, step 17 (p17), the text says "Draw the shape of the fly with chalk 3 cm from center front." But then the drawing in the pdf is marked as 3.5 cm. Similarly, in the video, the subtitles says "3 cm", but the seamstress does 3.5 cm. This is a bit confusing. I am going to go with 3.5, like my other existing chino pants, but you may want to update the pdf to have corresponding measures in both text and drawing. I do appreciate having all these videos that come along with the patterns, so thanks for that. All the best.

As it says, place the piece with the right side up and topstitch on the right side of the center seam. When you pick up the piece and place it against the body, this will result in a left facing zipper ( male). 3,5 cm distance is correct.

It's a great video but I think it would be even more helpful if the creator didn't use such a busy design on the fabrics. Thanks for the video and the info you have shown and provided!
