You really can sew a zipper that is invisible! March Garment Gals Meeting

Zippers were the topic of discussion in March. We learned all about different zipper techniques from Joan Gadonniex, Judy Longacre and Danielle Rudi.
Joan began our program by instructing us on the several different types of invisible zipper feet and how to use those feet to sew a zipper that well, actually ended up being invisible!  One use for an invisible zipper, besides insertion  in a garment, and one that most of us had never considered, was to use it in pillow covers.  Joan showed us one she had made, and actually had difficulty in finding which side the zipper was on!
Judy showed us a Lapped Zipper Technique.  Her detailed instructions made it seem doable, even to those of us who are often reluctant to insert any kind of a zipper in a garment!
We finished with a presentation by Danielle on Fly Front Zippers.  Again, her step by step presentation, using jeans she was in the process of making, and ones that she had completed, helped those of us who thought we might never attempt making anything but an elastic waist pair of pants!
As an offshoot, she also made many of us consider sewing a pair of jeans which is a project that many of us have felt intimidated by. In fact, we have talked Danielle into doing a jeans making workshop sometime in the near future.
