How to Sew A Neck Facing to an Invisible Zip

02/01/2017

I love sewing the back neck facing for an invisible zip.  It’s so easy and so straight forward AND it looks professional! That’s because this is the way it’s done in the industry.

 

Step 1 –

Make sure you’ve installed your invisible zip as shown in my tutorial – HOW TO INSTALL AN INVISIBLE ZIP.

Step 2 –

Fold the back neck facing to the front making sure it’s right side of fabric together.

Step 3 –

Pin the edge of the facing to the edge of the CB seam.  You’ll have the zip sandwiched in between.

 

 

Step 4 –

With your regular sewing foot sew down the facing edge.

Step 5 –

You’ll notice that there is more fabric on the back neck than the facing.  This is because you are going to fold the CB seam toward yourself and to the left.

 

Step 6 –

Pin the neckline in place.

Step 7 –

Sew the neckline edge 6mm/1/4″.

Step 8 –

Cut off the zipper tape and cut into the corner of the seam.

Step 9 –

Turn the bodice to the right side and press.

 

That’s it!  You’ve attached a neck facing on an invisible zip.

NOTE:  This process can also be done if you have a skirt that’s got a waist facing.

 

Happy Sewing!
