Burda Style For people who sew

Now, measure your zipper against the opening in your fabric. It should be just a bit long. This is good. I hate the metal end- if your needle ever gets stuck in there, it’s very very hard to get out- I know from experience!

Sew across the teeth of your zipper (several times) just past where it will be hidden from sight. Cut off that darn metal piece. You probably want the zipper to have about an extra 1/2″ or so on the end for inserting.
