■ Insert invisible zip at front slit
edges, as described hereafter.
Open the zip and push the coil
back with your thumbnail to reve-
al the seam between the tape/
band and the coil. Place the open
zip face down on the right side of
1 2
one opening edge. So that the zip
can be stitched in place exactly
along the marked seam-line, calcu-
late the distance between the
band and the fabric as follows:
seam allowance width minus 1 cm
(3/8 inch) = distance from the edge
of the fabric. The bottom end of
the zip will overhand the marked
end of the opening. Place the spe-
cial presser foot on the zip so that
the coil is in the notch to the right
of the needle (figure 1). Stitch zip
in place from the top to the mar-
ked end of the opening. Close the
zip.
Place the other zip band face
down on the other opening edge
and pin in place at the top. Open
zip again. Place the presser foot on
the top end of the zip so that the
coil is in the notch to left of the
needle (figure 2). Stitch the zip in
place from the top to the end of
the opening. Close zip.
Now stitch centre front seam from
bottom to top (up to zip). Turn
back the loose lower end of the
zip onto the seam allowances.
Stitch as close as possible to the
last stitch of the zip seams. Trim
off the surplus zip and bind the
end with a scrap of fabric.
■ Stitch the side seams on waist-
band pieces. Stitch outer waist-
band pieces onto upper edge of
trousers, leaving ends of waist-
band overhanging from centre
front. Press seam allowances of joi-
ning seams onto waistband pieces.
Place inside waistband pieces right
sides together with the stitched
outer waistband pieces and pin
edges together. Place seam allo-
wances at lower edges of waist-
band down again in front. Stitch
across front ends of waistband and
upper edges of waistband. Trim
seam allowances. Turn waistband
pieces.
■ Stitch two pocket pieces, with
right sides together, leaving nar-
row edges open at the top. Trim
seam allowances. Turn pockets and
press. Topstitch integrated belt-
carriers and pocket opening edge
at 5 mm (3/16 inch). Pin pockets on
trouser pieces at placement line
and stitch 5 mm (3/16 inch) wide.
Now pull belt carriers down again
and pin in place.
■ Place inside back waistband pie-
ces up again and press seam allo-
wances at upper edge of waist-
band open about 5 cm (2 ins) long,
then smooth flat over the joining
seam. Topstitch along waistband
close to edges. Work buttonholes
in the front ends of waistband as
marked and on the left for inside
button.
■ Place belt carriers on pockets up
again, stitch crosswise as marked.
Turn ends in and stitch at upper
edge of waistband.
■ Press hem allowances to inside,
turn in to a width of 2.5 cm (1
inch) and stitch in place.
