It's finished and it fits!!

I just finished sewing a zipper in my Viking Cabled Central Park Hoody and I looove it!!
Finally something that fits.
I mucked up the zipper 3 times and had to unpick it luckily I only had to unpick one side but gah! so much unpicking.

I am now an expert (self-proclaimed of course) at installing zippers.
Here is what I have learnt:

• Baste it in with two strands of sewing thread with small stitches. Make sure you are lining up the rib on both sides.
• Use a sewing machine to secure it in place permanently - use a medium/long stitch - I didn’t realise my sewing machine, although set to medium, was sewing tiny stitches.
• Remove and tidy up threads.
• Dance around and show the cat, be amazed at your skills.

Anyway it is done, drumroll please...
