I just ordered up a slew of invisible zippers from ZipperStop.com to use in my pillow covers, and here they are! Note: Turn down your volume if you click onto their site! It plays Sinatra’s New York, New York really loud and scares the holy crap out of me every single time.

I haven’t ordered from ZipperStop in awhile, but I’m glad to have them back in the mix because they’re really responsive and don’t waste any time getting your order out the door! Plus, my other supplier doesn’t offer invisible zippers in as many colors as they do.

My invisible zipper skills are a bit rusty, so I went online for a refresher. I found this YouTube video from Otis College of Art and Design and wanted to share it because it’s awesome!

I’ll most likely machine instead of hand baste (just because it’s faster and less clumsy for me), as well as use a strip of interfacing in the zipper insertion area as recommended in Fashion Incubator’s invisible zipper tutorial.

Also, sew? i knit!’s invisible zipper tutorial will be helpful figuring out how to use this el cheapo plastic Coats & Clark invisible zipper foot until I have time to get over to Walnut Creek’s Sewing Machine Shop for a Janome foot. Ex-cit-ing!
