It’s a fantastic way to create a deep hem on a skirt, unlined jacket, or pants. I used to find them to be a bit of a pain, but honestly my Bernina and it’s wonderful blind hem presser foot have banished all my frustrations.

Petite Fashion, Style Tips and DIY If you've ever passed on a low-back top or dress due to qualms about what bra to wear, here's a quick DIY project that might nix such qualms in the future.

Video: How to sew an invisible zipper How to Sew an Invisible Zipper from Colette Patterns on Vimeo. As you probably know, a lot of our patterns use invisible zippers.

I chose it because it can have big impact and yet it really is a quick project to put together once you have the cutting dimensions figured out. It just so happened I still had my sketch from the Tote of Protection with the numbers already jotted down.
How To Make Your Own Dress Form When starting on the wonderful and exciting journey of making your own clothes or altering old ones there is one thing you will definitely need to make your job easier...that is a dress form. There are many tutorials on the web but the best one I found is the one I am going to share with you.

Today I want to go over how to install a lapped zipper with facings. Many tutorials out there go over the installation of the lapped zippers using different techniques, which are fine and dandy. However, most of them don’t tell you how to finish it with a facing (or lining). I don’t think it’s immediately obvious how the facings should be handled. This technique is used on ready-to-wear clothing.
