I'm a veteran dress maker and thought I knew everything about construction. But this little trick is new to me .And how clever ,too. You girls are wonderful.

[@irinamarysina648]

The best explanation ever on internet

[@justJoanBush]

Can it really be that easy? Oh the hours of frustration I have experienced trying to make the facings look nice. I can't wait to try this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@patriciabennett7866]

[@user-oq7nb6es8b]

So helpful as I’m wanting to put a zip in the Safiya dungarees 😊

[@carmeladams9566]

Thanks girls. I used to know how to do this but had completely forgotton and couldn't figure it out even with looking at my past constructions to see how I'd done it. So thanks a lot and I will watch your other videos as I'm sure there's other things I've forgotten in my 73 years. Greetings from Australia.

[@StitchSisters]

Happy to help!

[@inotherwords14]

Loved this! Very clear. Thanks!

[@Eva-dy9qy]

This was extremely helpful and very clear, thank you ladies! I know most people say buttonholes are easy since sewing machines come with buttonhole feet these days but they can still be a nightmare once the fabric is not nice crisp and interfaced cotton, so I would love to see a video with tips on how to keep buttonholes neat on tricky fabrics.

[@StitchSisters]

[@SewCraftyNana]

Thanks ladies - this was great! I’ve saved your zip videos to my “useful tutorials” playlist as I see myself referencing them again. This one was the best - as patterns ALWAYS want you to hand Stitch the facing down. Awesome method!

[@hoppaheedahoe2581]

love these tutorials! I've never had proper sewing lessons, these are wonderful. I'd love to learn an easy method for button holes. Mine have not turned out as professional as I'd like. The

[@wudnpud66]

Brilliant girls Thankyou! I would love to know how to ‘bag out’ and line a dress or top, and making jeans. These are my stumbling blocks and I’m too frightened to try. I made the ultimate trousers and they were huge on me. So that’s another fear.. trousers. I’m absolutely loving these videos, and your work... go girlies! 💖💖💖

[@StitchSisters]

jo-jo hodges we will add it to the list !

[@robynjury4403]

Hi - would love the Stitch Sisters take on how to do a trouser fly front. Thanks for your wonderful tutorials, they are just soooo helpful!

[@StitchSisters]

Robyn Jury your very welcome fly fronts have been popular so we will definitely do that 😉

[@elaine58100]

Lovely neat finish! If I was making a skirt and I wanted to add a lining, would I have added the lining to the skirt facing before finishing the top of the zip off? Sometimes it's just about understanding the order in which to do things :)

[@MichelleTheHermit]

I love this! Thank you so much! Hooray for less handstitching in my life!!

[@lynettemb4532]

Another fantastic tutorial ladies, thank you. I would love to know how to deal with a lining and the various zippers. Thanks again.

[@sallydingle321]

[@springmol1]

Hi there. Am loving all your videos especially on man sewing. They have really inspired me. Could you do a little tutorial on how to add plackets to a mans polo shirt. I would really like to make one for my hubby but have no idea how to do the placket. Many thanks.

[@StitchSisters]

SewShelley we have added it to the list !

[@patriciabennett7866]

As always, love your video! You make everything look so smart and easy! I would LOVE if you did a tutorial on a separating zipper, like in a jacket or hoodie, mine always look janky and wavy! Lol

Thank you so much! I would love to see a machine open zip on a hand knit. Thank you

[@denbeesewswhat9841]

I am definately doing this technique as I always struggle with doing this my waistbands are always messy around the zip!

[@lettyashworth548]

What a fantastic tutorial, it will make my zip sewing so much neater, and it’s so simple, love it, thank you! I have a request for a future video, as no doubt you’ll have some helpful advice or tips. It’s not zip related, but here goes, how do you get various fabric types back on the grain after washing. To me it seems especially tricky with longer lengths of fabric and/or stretch/or less stable fabrics! Any advice welcome, not yet found much on this, thanks, Letty

[@StitchSisters]

Letty Ashworth we will add it to the list

Where do you get the zipper foot with the pointy thing at the end ?

[@StitchSisters]

Annie Brock we bought them from eBay, just put in invisible zip foot and look out for the one with the pointed front

[@emmascanlon1]

I'm pretty new to this so maybe I'm just being stupid, but how would you do a zip when you want to line the skirt or dress?

[@StitchSisters]

Emma Scanlon we will add it to the list !
