Another Ladies' Skirt & Easy Zipper

So, I've been finding some really cute fabric lately and decided to make myself some 30 minute skirts like the one I made by request for a friend. I showed you that tutorial a few days ago. It really is so easy to make a skirt from scratch including sewing in a zipper! Anyone can do it. If you can sew a straight line {who can't?}, you can sew a skirt. So, go find some fabric you like and do it. It won't take long, I promise!
Go here to see the complete tutorial for sewing a basic ladies' skirt and to get the tutorial for sewing in a zipper - the easy way.
Here are pics of the most recent one I made myself. I've got a couple more to make this weekend and I think I'll be pretty much set....unless I find more cute fabric, that is.

How to Install a Zipper {tutorial}

 



** Use a zipper foot to sew around the zipper starting on one side at the top, going down to desired spot, crossing over zipper {2-3 times forward and reverse to reinforce}, and back up the other side.**
