AboutSharon Vogel Expertise I can answer general sewing questions as well as tailoring, heirloom, menswear, children's wear, craft sewing, quilting and just about any fabric or notion. I can also help with some sewing machine repair and maintenance.
Experience I started sewing at the age of 3...thanks to my mom and grandmother, and I am now in my fifties. Home economics classes in junior high and high school helped me to finesse my skills.
Education/Credentials Palmer and Plesch tailoring class
Basically, self-taught...give me the instructions and I will figure it out and then make it better!
Awards and Honors A few blue ribbons at fairs along the way
Question I am making a "Snow White" costume for my grandaughter, want a perfect fit I usually just use velcro...for the life of me I cannot remember how to put in a zipper. Would appreciate any tricks or tips, my Singer machine is new and fabulous, I sew alot of crafts, doll clothes quilts etc...
Thanks

Answer Dear Jamie,
Coats and Clark zipper packages have the instructions for putting in centered and lapped zippers. The following link will take you to a video tutorial for a centered zipper application. http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=87
