Burda Style For people who sew

ZIPPER (hidden)
The zipper will be applied in a way that the seam edges cover it up. The zipper should be slightly longer than the opening. It will be applied before stitching the side seam below the zipper. Stitch the zipper using your sewing machine’s zipper foot. Neaten the side edges.

Open the zipper and pin it with its right side onto the allowance of the opening edge. The little zipper teeth are positioned on the marked opening edges. Then stitch the zipper using the zipper foot, closely along the zipper teeth line (a). Do the same with the other side of the zipper (b). Stitch both sides from the top to the opening sign (arrow). Since the little teeth have the tendency to roll up the zipper foot keeps them flat. Close the zipper. Turn the strip ends over the allowances. Turn the allowances inside and sew by hand ©.
