Currently, in addition to the usual zipper, you can also buy a hidden one in stores. This is a very popular type of fastener used in various models of trousers, skirts, dresses. Hidden - that is, invisible and imperceptible. This quality allows it to be used for sewing many products.
So, how to sew in a hidden zipper? In order to sew such a fastener, you will need certain sewing skills and perseverance. You also need materials and tools. First, you need the hidden zipper itself. In appearance, it resembles the usual one, only the teeth on it are on the wrong side. From the inside, it is the same as a regular zipper from the front side. The hidden zipper at the castle itself has a groove along which it should be sewn. The seam can be laid further from the groove, but not closer. The clasp must be about 2 cm longer than the slit. Secondly, you will need a needle, thread and a sewing machine with a special foot for attaching a zipper (single-legged). Thirdly, you need a product to which we will sew a zipper. In our example, this is a skirt.
Before sewing the fastener into the skirt, you need to decide where it will be located - in the side or middle seam. The sewing technique in all seams is the same. Hidden zipper and threads must match the colorproducts. After choosing a place, we get to work. We will look at how to sew a hidden zipper into the middle back seam of a skirt.
First, on the skirt we mark with chalk or a pin the length of the lock in finished form, this is about 20 cm. Then we sew the middle seam from this mark. Before stitching, the sections must be overcast on an overlocker or sewing machine. If the product is sewn from stretch fabric, then before overcasting, the place where the zipper is sewn in must be glued with doubler strips so that the fabric does not stretch.
After the sections are glued, swept over, the seam is sewn and ironed out, we proceed to stitching the fastener. We put it on the fabric in such a way that the upper ponytails are free. This will be required to process the top cut. We first pin both sides of the zipper to the fabric with pins, and then we sew the cut to the cut, stepping back from the edge of 0.5 cm. Having done this, make sure that the secret lock is not warped.
Then, on the sewing machine, we install a special foot for sewing in a zipper. We put the skirt in such a way that one side of the fastener is under the foot. We start the line from the bartack and lay it strictly along the groove to the place where the middle seam of the skirt begins.
Sew the second side as well. After sewing in the zipper, it is necessary to close it and see if there are any distortions anywhere. To do this, you should carefully, so as not to damage the line, first get the tail through the free space below, and then the dog itself.
Sometimes you need to sew in a hidden zipperin a skirt made of stretch fabric lined without a belt. Lining in skirts is used so that the back of the product does not stretch out during wear and the shape is better preserved. Also, thanks to the lining, it is possible to avoid sticking of the skirt to the legs and electrification. In addition, such a skirt will last much longer and wrinkle less.
Now let's talk about how to sew a hidden zipper into a skirt made of stretch fabrics. As mentioned above, first we glue the place where the lock is sewn in with doubler strips 2 cm wide.
Then we do everything in the same way as on a skirt made of ordinary fabric. Only then it is necessary to sew a lining with a lining on both sides of the zipper. Turning and lining are sewn in a circle before stitching a hidden lock. Having laid the seam from the inside to the fastener, we grab the free tail that was left earlier. We sew the lining to the allowance, where a hidden zipper is already sewn. We finish the seam at 0.5 cm of the middle seam of the lining. We also do the other side.
Now everything is sewn on. It remains only to turn it out and iron it through a damp cloth. We figured out how to sew a hidden zipper into a lined skirt.
