I've Conquered The Invisible Zipper!

Remember the brown polka dot skirt I've been working on since the turn of the century? Well I finally picked it back up a couple of days ago and I remembered why I never finished. There, on the table, was...

AN INVISIBLE ZIPPER

That might not be a big deal to most people, but while I love the look of invisible zippers, I never mastered putting them in. To be honest, I never mastered zippers, period, but I digress.

I really need to finish some of these projects so I went on the interwebs and found these helpful tutorials:

Smarmyclothes on YouTube
Gertie
Coletterie
Angela Kane Part 1 and Part 2

What I learned is that all these years, I've been doing it wrong by sewing next to the curled teeth instead of uncurling the teeth and sewing in that little ditch.
