OK, peeps, my crafting posse has once again come to the rescue and advised about how one deals with the abject horror of an invisible zip, on a bias cut garment, that waves and bubbles like a bitch.
You must see the comments in this post. Some serious sewists weigh in and for that I thank them all.
Then check out this great Threads article (thanks Marina).
Then check out Sunni's awesome post that I should have read - in fact I'm sure I did read - yet somehow my brain completely glossed over it. Hmmmm...
I'm going to give this zip another go. Like tomorrow. After I've had a chance to drown my sorrows a bit. That would be with booze.
Remember, if you've just experienced this zipper malfunction, don't panic! We're gonna be alright. Especially if we drink.

Girlfriend, I like the way you think!
ReplyDeleteThanks for highlighting this. I've bookmarked Sunni's article for future reference. I did the best invisible zipper today - it's somehow all falling into place now.
ReplyDeleteG: What can I say, I've got some good ideas :-)
ReplyDeleteKaty: Oh, that's wonderful! I hope I can say the same thing tomorrow...
I'm so glad you got this figured out, I'd have contributed something earlier, but I've never put a zipper in on the bias....and to be honest, I can't remember actually ever sewing anything on the bias....
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping I have a great end result to show you soon xo
DeleteHooray!
