I got through the fly on all 3 pairs and I don't like any of them, and so they will be ripped...I think I need find wider zippers, with wider zipper tape for one thing.
If you don't like it, you won't wear it!
Rip, rip rip...
Does anyone know of a good trouser zipper tutorial? Quick and easy to read is a must, otherwise I might as well be reading the old BWOF instructions.
I used the Stitches and Seams tutorial by Debbie which I have used so often before, but my zipper tape isn't wide enough for a nicely proportioned fly! I don't want to order a yard of Riri, its expensive and the pulls are bulky. But, there is nothing more frustrating than having to replace a zipper!
Immediate fixes:
-I think the gray ones are OK, but i will look at them and think about it
-The navy pair has a fly that is too narrow, wider zipper is necessary
-The black pair at the bottom, I love the fabric, its too light weight and probably needs underlining or interfacing, plus the stripes are crooked on the right side. (Rhonda, this is the fab fabric that I got when we were at High's)
So much for my "Stepping out of my Comfort Zone" pledge to myself to not start another project until I finished the first... I'm on to the Marfy polka dot blouse with the tie front, I'll post pics soon.
I'm putting the pants aside until later in the month, its just time to spend some time apart
