Meet Sunni Standing, a sewing teacher, blogger and fabric shop owner from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Start with the basic slot-seam zipper, perfect for garments like a skirt with waistband. Sunni shows you how to shorten the zipper to the perfect length and stabilize the opening.
Invisible zippers can be done beautifully with or without an invisible zipper foot. Sunni shows you how fusible stabilizers make all the difference.
Make the inside of a lined garment look as neat and finished as the outside with Sunni's techniques. A few extra steps lead to great results with regular or invisible zippers.
Lapped zippers combine the best features of slot-seam and invisible methods, and give an elegant look to the side seam of dresses.
