Sewing Hacks: Uncovering Secrets to Perfect Invisible Zippers

[@IMOO1896]

Seems as if everyone has a different, some very, some slightly, method of application. This is wonderful to me, because with anything when learning, we get to choose which method is easier for us and will give us the final result we’re happy with.

The best invisible zip tutorial!! thank youuuuuuuuuuu... 👍💝💝💝💝

[@heidireindl4338]

Hallo Marina, dieses Video war sooo hilfreich und hat ganz super funktioniert. Ich habe das Kleid Vivienne genäht mit nun einem perfekten Reißverschluss - dank deines Videos. Liebe Grüße, Heidi

[@MarinaBrumpton]

Na super, freut mich sehr!!!

[@dianeperkins9294]

As always a brilliant video from Marina. You make sewing look so easy .. x

[@chiomaiykeani864]

Marina you are super wonderful. I'm a beginner sewer and I must confess i'm hooked to your videos. Now i have one project after another to do everyday. Thanks

[@MarinaBrumpton]

+Chioma Iykeani Thank you, that is excellent. Stay hooked Thursday, tomorrow the new video showing the open zip in a lined dress is coming up. I prefer the concealed zip, but as its a training course I do need to include all options lol.

[@mariannabekiari8989]

Hi Marina, you are an inspiration for me. everyone can learn sewing from you.

[@congabaeren]

Wow, wieder eine tolle Anleitung. Habe es verstanden, obwohl ich kaum Englisch kann. Super.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

+congabaeren Danke Gabrielle! Fand deine Idee mit den Bluemchen echt nett! Bei all dem Stress kann man ab und zu eine Blume oder auch zwei gebrauchen :)

[@congabaeren]

+Marina Brumpton (Frocks and Frolics) Danke Marina, aber war nicht meine Idee, bin selbst angestupst worden ;-)

[@maryhull531]

Wonderful. Love this application.

[@kellys8974]

Thank you so much for saying about stitching by hand...I don't have a invisible zipper foot and couldnt afford to get another...other videos and tutorials dont say you can do this..and although it seems like common sense I never realised you could!! Looking forward to trying my first invisible zip now.

[@alicefoster1340]

Marina, you are a genius...love your patterns and videos.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

+alice foster Thank you Alice, not a genius just an awesome apprenticeship and then lots of years working for other designers plus teaching kids in school. And yes I think I learnt my trade lol. 30 yars later.....

[@janethevenor8535]

Your tutorials are so good. This is an excellent zipper insertion demonstration. Thank you.

[@sangeethasajish8398]

How did I miss this? Awesome

[@melissa-ur7kl]

Life changing! Marina you are incredible!

[@MarinaBrumpton]

+melissa calcutti welcome back Melissa. Where do you live now? Glad you are enjoying all the new stuff. Are you in my facebook group yet?

[@kohinurali9908]

Thank you so much I had so much trouble with zipper add now I put zipper easily thank a lot

[@tweetybird53046]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks a million. Have you ever used a regular zipper and inserted as invisible. I thought years ago I heard you could and I'm going to try it on a scrap of fabric. Just wanted to let you know that I have been sewing for over 50 years and this was the best tutorial on invisible zipper because I like the idea of sewing the rest of the seam first I never like having to wait until the zipper is in to sew the bottom of the dress. Thanks again.

[@blondesgold6849]

bestes ASMR Video I have ever seen !! ;-) ( und auch mein Top Begleit Video wenn ich immer Reißer einnähe in meine Kleider ;) eines der wenigen Zipper-Videos welches ich umsetzen kann bzw. verstehe

[@vidyagopal9911]

very briliant mam you teached us very neatly even children will learn this to see your teaching meathod is very nice thank you so much

[@MarinaBrumpton]

+Vidya Gopal Thank you Vidya. I was shown this method by one of my employees 20 years ago and never looked back. Fast Alison was a fab seamstress and her nick name totally fitted her. Lovely lady she is.

[@mariav.4832]

this is a nice way to put a inviseble zip. Thanks ☺

[@jacquelinerobinson9158]

Thank You From USA

[@Miss_Melly_D]

very good tutorial

[@bevmcmullen8758]

Lovely tutorial as always Marina, but you had me right up to the folding over of the lining over the zip🤔🤔...maybe I just need to watch it a few more times hey? But thank you for sharing.

[@ogonnamewu1450]

oh myyyyyy!!! This is my first ever comment on any KZbin video!!! You are such a wonder to watch!! Thanks so much. Your videos inspire me greatly.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

Thanks Oganna, just one of many ways to do it. I change my mind all the time on that....

[@sarahyount4713]

Thank you, thank you!

[@aidegonzalez6320]

muy hermoso trabajo

[@judyholmes1634]

I almost have enough confidence to try the invisible zip after one viewing. A second one should do the trick - watching the video and sewing step by step. Thank you.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

I know, first one is always a killer!

[@sweetchild1001]

Thank you for this tutorial.

[@silversagapatterns]

Beautiful! Could you show how to sew a concealed zipper into a lined dress with sleeves and bag the neckline out? I’m not sure how to translate this video into a dress!

[@MarinaBrumpton]

Jessica Silversaga i already do lots of videos for that. Check out the Vivienne dress playlist.

[@asmahobbies]

Thanks a lot

[@Teresasblaze]

I don’t know if I am being cheeky but I think I have the same model of Piaf sewing machine the quilt ambition 2.0. I notice you move your needle position when doing the zips can you let me know how as I have looked all through the instruction manual and it does not state how to in there. ??? Your help would be much appreciated. Your tutorials are really helpful and inspiring.

[@arzuarzu0123]

👍 schwupdiwupp and no schumelling 💓

[@mariacoelho4581]

nice thank you

[@akankshyasarmaakankshyasar827]

Your dress is so awsm.....I jst luv it bt which sewing machine have you used...name???

[@DavonMcCormick]

I know this one is about zips but the dress is so adorable. I'm in the states can you please share where you purchase your fabrics from? Thank you so much!

[@MarinaBrumpton]

It's the Vivienne pattern for the dress. I buy my fabrics mainly from the fashion district in Los Angeles, Michael Levine (also online) and of course Jo Anne's. For kiddos I use the online platform Fabricworm which sell Birch organic fabrics. If possible I link to shops on the website. Mind the website is going down in its present form and will come back, all singing and dancing in about three weeks.

[@DavonMcCormick]

Marina Brumpton thanks so very much Marina!

[@mdmujaheth2622]

nice like it thank you very much

[@francoisethepot9414]

can we use invisible into pouches and bags? I have no other project at the moment for them I received my mistake invisible a bunch of 20 of different colors and the tees i'm doing don't use zip so i'm looking to make some bags with pockets and zip pockets.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

Yes of course. It's the same technique once the zip has been sewn in.

[@mirnaelizabethcallejas1963]

que hermoso el vestidoooooo

[@sonny23bkannaba8]

thank you so match for this vidéo

[@annenorth8553]

I have always seen the invisible zip videos where they show them closing the centre back after inserting the zip, but I think thats more difficult to do......Its much easier closing the centre back first.....

[@MarinaBrumpton]

+Anne North Hi Anne. Actually both works well. It depends, I do both. For example when you are pleating a skirt and attaching it, it may be easier to close after. I do know in industry with those great machines, tiny presser feet and total control grip on the fabric, it may even be more appropriate but with standard sewing machines, not always with great transport, its more difficult I think. But then hey there are more ways to Rome than one right?

[@TheNinawitteveen]

Hell Marina, once again you have made something I thought was difficult look so easy🙂 Question? My bodice is together already with lining, when sewing the zipper, how far to snip the top zipper tail so I don't need the little eye hooks. Should I snip it so the zipper is directly at the top? Thanks darlin

[@MarinaBrumpton]

I snip it so its just seam allowance, because I am frankly to lazy for hook and eye closures at the top... :) So 1 cm and it will be perfect.

[@deedrew2427]

What causes the bunching up of the fabric/access fabric on the bottom of the zipper sometimes?

[@MarinaBrumpton]

The zip isn't put in evenly. But you can help yourself and close the seam last. Put the zip in first, then using a zipper foot go in after. I am showing that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TZf2OseLFmrZY

[@deedrew2427]

Frocks & Frolics Sewing Patterns Thank you for your quick reply. I love your videos. And I've used the Vivienne pattern for my little girl a few times now. So pretty!

[@jaquelynashbery8557]

Marina, ref the 1cm seam allowance v the 1.5cm that shop bought patterns recommended, I see that the top of the zip tape is designed to be used with a 1.5cm seam allowance and needs to be shortened if I'm using a 1cm seam allowance. But does this also affect the back seam similarly? Do I need to reduce my seam allowance to 1cm on the side / back seam where the zip is to sit? Or does the zip need 1.5cm to accomodate the tape and teeth? Hope that makes sense.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

That is a good question. You could just move the zip sides in a little more to accommodate the wider seam allowance. But I agree trimming off the 0.5 cm at least in the zip area would probably be easier. At least if you follow this video instruction.

[@jaquelynashbery8557]

@@MarinaBrumpton thank you, that was what I planned to do, but wanted to check, thank you.

[@ujjeshatiwari7800]

mam can we use the same technique with an exposed zipper. Nisha.

[@MarinaBrumpton]

Its a bit different. I do have a video for that too which is in the workshop playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLlWbGLMyFtwHSa3YL5R4Hyu6rs0A4LmzN lapped yipper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmlln6dqraqY9U
