I've got regular zips under control and just hand sewed a yoke lining to one for my culottes. But not invisible zips. And to make things even more interesting, the zip is 2 inches too long, they didn't have right length. So will also be doctoring that .Gjeometryhttp://gjeometry.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008815686832698964.post-79714653635506055432013-10-27T16:04:34.330+11:002013-10-27T16:04:34.330+11:00Oh this will help me as well!

I think bold fabric like this always looks best when paired with a simple pattern.
