How to Sew a Flat Waistband on Skirt with Zipper

In this video you learn how to sew a flat waistband on the skirt or pants. This step-by-step technique helps you sew a waistband with button hole and zipper.
The flat classic waistband of this model a skirt is cut in the same way as waistband for the men's trousers (in two parts). One difference is between them: the men's trousers waistband have zipper at the front part. The ends of waistband a skirt are joined at the back part.
At beginning of making the waistband you need cut the strip of fabric. Its length must be equal the full measure of a waist + 8 cm (the 8 cm includes 1 cm each end seam allowance + 6 cm overlap). Strip width should be 10 cm (4 cm x 2 + 2 cm - seam allowances).
Note: wrong side a waistband must be duplicated with fusible adhesive fabric.

    So professional. I'm a beginner afflicted with perfectionism, which is frustrating because despite much patience, I just don't have the experience to know the tricks. This is the perfect video for me and it's saved in my playlist so I can find it when I'm ready for this step. First, I must install my very first zipper. Thank God for KZread. I wish I had taken up sewing before losing my very skilled mom. ❤️

    Look for the Threads video by Kenneth D King for installation of invisible zippers. Takes a little longer but the results are worth it.

I didn't understand what I was supposed to do but this video solved all my problems. Thank you so much for this amazing video tutorial! I'm excited to finish my skirt now :)
