Last night the Sewphisticuts were treated to a demo of installing an invisible zipper. Judy L, despite suffering a bout of back pain, came through for the group and shared with us her knowledge of invisible zippers. She discussed the zipper construction, considerations for placement, and how the invisible zipper foot works. Then she installed one in a sample piece of fabric. An interesting side note covered how to make sure the fabric on each side of the zipper matches, something you need to do if your fabric is plaid, striped, or if the zipper crosses a waistband or other seam perpendicular to the zipper.
In other business, the group decided that for Make a Difference Day in October, the project will be walker and wheelchair bags for Castle Point VA hospital. Several members volunteered to organize the day. More information will be on the way later.
