Greetings and blessings my dear friends of @needleworkmonday, it is a pleasure for me to visit you in this week that I hope will be of many joys, prosperity and lots of creativity. Today I come to show you and comment on how I was making this skirt with invisible zipper and what were the challenges that were presented in this sewing, since as I have told you several times, every time I face a new project there is always some difficulty along the way, but the good thing is that one way or another I always solve it by doing something well done.

I have always liked challenges and I remember when I was making my first shirt of the sewing course I was doing, I made a shirt with a lot of difficulty and one of them was to place the zipper, I had my little stumbles, but I made it this time I made this garment that has a zipper, but the one that is invisible and not noticeable on the front of the garment.

For this not long ago I was telling you that I had bought some presser feet among them the ones I most wanted to use were the false overlock and the invisible zipper, I tell you first that I wanted to use the false overlock, you will see it in some of the pictures, but it did not really work, I did not try much, at first I did not see that it made the finish I was looking for, that is a task that I will be practicing soon.

Then I didn't know how to use the invisible presser foot and the fabric I'm using is not of very good quality, since I had it for another project and I wanted to use it for this one to test the patterns and then make it in a better fabric.

So I didn't want to risk ruining the fabric that would be used to make the skirt, I did double work to practice with the new presser foot, you can see the tests that thank God turned out very well, although I must tell you that the mishap I had with this presser foot was that I had not placed the teeth of the clasp properly and that's when a needle broke, my first broken needle, something that helped me to know how to change the needle to my new machine.

Once I had already approved the presser foot that had already placed the zipper, I set out to make my skirt, which is for my princess Ariana. Of course I took the measurements, made the pattern, cut the fabrics of the pieces and came the second challenge or third I do not know what place it goes that was the waistband, I did it three times or cut three times the strip of fabric and the strip of fur for different reasons, the question was that I did three times, the third time was the charm and not so much because when I placed it in the garment I think it was almost just right, heh, heh, heh, heh.

After I had the pattern and the waistband ready, I started to assemble the skirt, the first thing I did was to zigzag the sides, since the false overlock didn't work for me, so I could have a better finished garment. Now I placed the zipper, then close the other side, I continued with the bottom to place the waistband that I also had to unpick it because I had left one side higher than the other and I don't like ugly things, so I also had to sew it and redo it.

To finish I was making the hem, as it is circular, I had to do it in two batches, first I folded to make a small hem and then I folded again and sewed again to make the final finish, it looked good, I know that for the next one it will be much better, but running away it looks beautiful.

With the pieces of fabric that I had made the waistbands I had two left over from there I made a piece for the presser foot of my machine, you can see that it is a red square that I left changed with my machine so that dust does not enter the area of the bobbin, something that I was recommended to always place a piece of fabric under the presser foot and I was pending to do something nice to always be there with my machine and this fell like a glove because it was perfect and Supercombinado for my machine that I hope will last me for life.

Well, friends, this has been all my experience making these pants, skirt type, you can see some pictures I took of my princess Arianna how her mother's creation looked on her, as I told you it is not a very fine fabric, however, it looks good and I will be making another one with a much better fabric, that will fit more and I will also be showing them to you. Oh, I am also going to make a top to go with this skirt and there, my princess will be modeling this beautiful outfit that I am making with much love.

Well, friends, once again I say goodbye, I always talk too much, I have so many things to tell you. Thank you very much for visiting my blog and reading all the things I come to tell you, I love you kisses.
