That’s exactly how I did the zipper. Works great doesn’t it? And I used that fabric for a roller skate dress. And mim22, that’s how we did it. Don’t sew up the side seams until after the zipper is in. Wish I had figured that part out first. : )

Sarvi, I rushed and made a mess of it. None of the seams line up! I know better.

We saw something of it on the news and I just asked my dad if it was still going and it is apparently. Not a good situation to be in. I’m praying for those caught up in it. Hopefully all will be well soon enough without anyone being harmed.
