thank you very much for the video. I did leatherwork in high school. and have done numerous knife sheaths, and small projects like that over the years...but recently, when I couldn't see my fiancé due to Covid lockdown, I had found a pattern for a nice skirt, and sewed her a leather skirt to wear when we go out, or when she needed to dress up for school (as she's a teacher)... I'd got it completed, but did NOT know how to sew a zipper into it to finish it (that was all I needed to do to finish the garment). I found this video, and have successfully completed sewing in my FIRST zipper!!! I know as a 40 year old guy I shouldn't be that excited about sewing in a zipper, but with a project like a skirt (that I'd never done before), to complete a zipper AND it came out looking so nice my fiancé thought I bought the skirt...well for me that is something to be proud of (p.s. her initials I stamped into the skirt with a heart and then my initials showed her I did it all on my own). anyways sorry for rambling, but having just seen her try it on, and see it with a good fit and a proper length worthy of a wearing at school...I wanted to say thank you.

Very nice, thanks!
thank you for this tutorial, im working with faux leather and didn't know where to start since you can't pin anything down. i ended up using an all purpose glue to keep everything in place because i don't have a suitable dubbel sided tape but it worked out great

All done correctly, you can use the glue or double sided tape. But it is more difficult to glue artificial leather than natural.
The music in the back is very not necessary

It's a slip agent for sewing if you don't have or want to use teflon foot,some leathers get stuck to the foot either way.
The tape you applied then removed for the adhesive, what's it called so I can look it up?
