I know you made this 8 years ago, but in case you’re still seeing comments, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
this was amazing. I paused, pinned, went back, rewatched, a number of times and came out with a lovely zipper. Could not have asked for a more clear tutorial
Thanks so much Kelly. So pleased you liked it. Aneka x
Ignore the rude comments - they are just trolls looking for attention. All of us here to actually learn how to do this are very grateful for you intricate explanations. Thank you! I definitely want to try an invisible zipper now.
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely message and for being so kind. I am grateful for your lovely comment and am pleased that you and hopefully others feel that way. Thank you so much! Good luck with your sewing. Aneka :-))

@@elenac7933 there are absolutely rude comments. Many people complained about the length of the video and called it boring. I wouldn't say "there are no bad comments" if you only looked at the top comments 3 years after this person commented.
This is the best tutorial! I was worried about sewing an invisible zip and found a lot of the videos and tutorials confusing. This is clear, detailed and not rushed. My zip came out perfect!!
Wow, that is very kind of you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am really pleased that you enjoyed the tutorial and found it useful. Thank you. All best with your zips! Aneka :-))
As a guy just getting started in sewing, thank you for the amazing clear direction and explanations.
So pleased I could help.

Well hello there 😏
@@thenarrator.9889 hahaahhahah
This was the BEST invisible zipper tutorial. You not only teach exactly how to do it, you give so many nuggets on why and what could go wrong and how to correct it if it does. Thank you so much for all the detail in this!!
Thanks so much Heather. Glad you enjoyed it.
The best spent 43 minutes of my life - clear and patient explanation, contrasting colours, good light and clear camera angle all made this tutorial very easy to follow. No more wasted time unpicking and replacing zips for me - thankyou.
Thanks so much Lesley. I really appreciate this. Aneka x
Thank you so much, I'm going to try my first invisible zipper today
I wish I had seen this sooner. As with all your tutorials, it is clear and well-paced, following the training mantra: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them what you need to tell them, tell them what you've told them". You are a pleasure to watch, a pleasure to hear and a pleasure to be taught by. Thank you.
Thanks so very much. Really appreciate it.
I'm a beginner and self taught and this tutorial has helped me through two invisible zippers so far! I can imagine I'll keep coming back to watch it whenever I sew one until I feel comfortable with them, it's super helpful and everything is well explained. Such a lifesaver!
Thanks so much April. 💖
Beautiful, crystal clear video. All camera angles, lighting, contrasting colors, and placement of hands are well thought-out for maximum clarity.
Thank you very much. Aneka x
Love this video! Please don't take it down. Yes it's the best. How about that 6 years later and still the best.
Thank you very very much. Aneka x
INCREDIBLE video!! For those of us learning, know that we appreciate the clear detail you go into, it makes the sometimes complicated world of sewing far easier and more accessible. Thank you!
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it. Aneka x
Absolutely loved this video. You were so precise, and the closeup views are so helpful. Thanks!!
Oh thank you JoAnne, I am really pleased you enjoyed it. I wish you all the best with your invisible zips in the future. Aneka
FINALLY, a video where the person explains exactly what's going on
Thanks so much. So glad I could help you.
As a seamstress who has installed hundreds of invisible zippers, I can say this is an excellent tutorial for someone learning how to put one in. I don't know why, but I still get an amazing sense of satisfaction when I look at the finished install. They really are easier than regular zippers and you get such a professional look.
Thank you for such a lovely message. I completely agree that they are easier and more professional looking that other zippers. Aneka x
Zippers have already been a mystery to me. I've had several teachers try to explain it and they go over things so fast that I don't understand it, but in 42 minutes you took your time and not only did I sew (successfully) my first zipper, I did an invisible one!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
This is amazing to hear - thank you so much for your lovely, positive review. I am SO pleased that I helped you crack it - this has made my day. Aneka xx
You have the most amazing speaking voice that I have ever heard. I don't think I've ever had such a fabulous tutorial in my life. This is the best zip tutorial in all of You Tube. Thank you so so much for this wonderful instruction.
Wow, thank you Cathleen. That is so lovely for you to say. Aneka x
You are simply amazing - best teacher ever! I am in a foreign country where I cannot find sewing classes in English, at least not from anyone who is an expert. I so much appreciate your tutorials, in fact, I think your videos are better than anything I could get live. The pace if perfect for my level and I like the detailed explanations, which I find useful and NOT too wordy. You are so generous to do this for free. Thank you!
Thank you so much Patty. Aneka xx
Great video! I've been sewing a lot of years and a great zipper install can not be rushed. Believe me when I tell you it sometimes takes longer than this to get a zipper right. I find your videos to be extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who need it.
Hi Joanne, thank you for such a lovely message. I am so pleased that I could help and you enjoy my videos. Thank you, Aneka
this tutorial was very refreshing, to hear a British voice not American was a joy, clear and concise instructions without the usual waffling on. I do hope you continue to make more tutorials on professional finishes Thank You xxx
Thanks very much Maria. Really appreciate this. Aneka xx
Love this tutorial - it's so detailed, I feel like you are with me every time I put my invisible zipper on! Thanks so much for making this such a comprehensive video. I have sewed a number of invisible zips now and would have had no idea without your help!
Thanks Michael. Glad it worked for you.
the best tutorial of all i have seen on anything absolute treasure, crystal clear. thanks
Hi Anthony, that is really very kind of you to say. I am so pleased that you found it useful and I wish you all the best sewing zips in the future. Thanks, Aneka

Watching this from thousands of miles away and I can imagine how amazing it would be to learn from you in person!! But the way you've made this video is so close to learning in person! One of the best online tutorials that I have ever seen. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. This means such a lot. Huge thank you for taking the time to comment, and make my day! Aneka x
So true!!!!
Brilliant, thank you! Just did my first one on my Mother of the Bride dress - no pressure then- and it worked perfectly.
This is amazing Lindy. So pleased I could help. Aneka x
Thank you for this clearly explained tutorial. You are indeed the best zipper teacher.😅 I managed to sew my zipper beautifully just by following your clip and tips!! You do repeat steps and warn us of pitfalls, and all that help us beginners.
At 62, I’m just learning to sew, and my first project is a dress with an invisible zipper. Out of many videos on this subject, yours is THE BEST!! I’m no longer scared to death that I’ll end up with a VISIBLE zipper!! LOL!!!
redrobyn Good luck 👍🏻
Amazing news, SO pleased I could help. I hope it went ok? Aneka x
Wow!! You are an amazing RUclips tutorialist. If they had annual awards you'd be a shoe-in. I've watched many sewing tutorials over the years, many very good, but you are amazing!! So thorough and clear. Thanks so much for your time. Much appreciated!
Hi Tatum, this is such a lovely message. Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful comment. You have made my day! 🥰 Just pleased I could help. 💛
This is my always problem when sewing, always with the invisible zip, I hope I can do this perfectly after few practice like what you said. I just want a professional finish. As always thank you for sharing this video, I enjoyed learning.
Good luck, you will get there! Aneka
This is an amazing tutorial! Your explanations were so clear and even allowed a total newbie to understand how these zippers worked. I was able to sew a very nice invisible zipper in my prom dress thanks to you!
Thank you so much Catherine.
I don’t even plan on sewing a zipper. The most i can do on a sewing machine is hem, but this video was explaining it so well that I couldn’t stop watching it. It didn’t even feel long at all. I actually enjoyed it because I felt like I was really learning something.
Thanks so much Kelly, that really means a lot. Thank you and glad you learned something. Aneka x
Excellent tutorial. Easy to follow along. Accurate instructions and we'll taught.
I searched many before finding this one and glad I took the time to keep looking.
Thank you.🇬🇧
Hi there, so pleased that you like my tutorial and I have been able to help you. Thank you and good luck with your sewing. Aneka
What a lifesaver! This tutorial was so clear and clever. I had to do the 2nd side of the zip three times before I got it right, but loved the advice not to panic and it was 3rd time lucky when i flipped the fabric.
Brilliant clear instructions and video. THANK YOU!
Hi Carolyn, I am so pleased I could help. Thank you so much! Aneka x
So well presented. I wrote out your instructions. Followed them and the zip turned out perfect. and the interfacing after following your instructions on joining it to the top of the zip.
I didn't have a invisible zipper foot, just a plain zipper foot. Great lessons
What wonderful news, I am so pleased that I could help you and that you managed to follow everything. Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
I've just sewn my first excellent invisible zip!!!! I found this so easily to follow and finally understand just what it is I'm doing. Thank you so much.
Thanks Drew. Glad it helped. Aneka
Excellent video. Very clear explanations. Thankyou so much
So pleased you liked the video, thank you for your kind comment.
Helen B
What an incredible in-depth explanation of sewing an invisible zipper. Thank you for bringing me back to my first class of instruction so many years past, as now I fully remember how to do this again! Cheeers
So pleased you enjoyed the video. Thank you. Aneka :-))
Thank you so much! I tried and failed using a different tutorial, but your's is so concise that I had success. I was so excited that my zipper went in and works perfectly. I so appreciate that you really explained everything so well.
This is amazing news! So pleased.
You have the most organized sewing room I've seen on RUclips.
Oh bless you that's very sweet. We try and keep it tidy so it's always enjoyable and clean for our students - but some days are better than others :-))!
yesss
Aneka, thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial which explains the process very clearly. Now I am ready to tackle putting the invisible zip in my cushion and watching this video has certainly helped to refresh my memory.
+Jane Wilkie I am ever so pleased that you found it useful and a help to re-cap the steps. I wish you all the best finish the cushion covers. I look forward to seeing a picture!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Yesterday I watched this video and sew an invisible zipper in a skirt. It was easy and it looks great.
Oh I am so pleased to here this. Thank you so much for sharing. Aneka x
thank you so much for the clear instructions. I saved this for few years now to refer when i want.
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful. That's a great idea.
Thank you so much for this video! You explain everything so clearly, that even a beginner, like myself, can understand.
I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and understood the process. Thank you for your lovely words. Good luck with your zips!
You are an amazing teacher. I am so happy I found your videos on You Tube.
I have never had formal instructions on how to sew and in watching your videos you have answered so many of my questions.
Thank you and please continue to share your expertise.
Hi Luanne, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am so pleased that you like my tutorials and have learned some new techniques. Thank you. Aneka :-))
One of the best tutorials online! As in - in general! I really am very grateful for the time you take in explaining it so well. Sewing is so much fun when you get it right the first time because it's been explained so well! Thank you so much, Aneka!
Thanks so much Anila, I really appreciate this. Aneka x
I have taken a sewing course, saw endless videos and can say that this is the best tutorial by far. Zip came out perfect on the first go. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much. Glad I could help.
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! My first zip ever is finished :D I managed to change a really badly inserted in-your-face zipper on an old dress made by my mom in the 70's or the 80's that I'm refashioning into a crop top + skirt set for myself. The whole thing being very far from perfect, and me a beginner at sewing, I can't say it went smoothly... but after a lot of measuring, unpicking and restitching the skirt got a beautiful invisible zip!
Wow this sounds incredible, what an amazing project. Glad I could help. Aneka x
Hi, this is the first time I have put in an invisible zip and it went in perfectly due to watching your tutorial first. Thank you.
Denise Collinson Hi Denise, thank you so much, so pleased I have been able to help. Aneka x
I just started sewing in November and have come to really love it. I'm sewing some cushions for family members, and the invisible zip written instructions are not helpful for new sewers. I appreciate the time, effort, clarity, and advice you give, and that you have made this applicable for both garments and decor items. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Really pleased I could help. Aneka
I have been sewing for nearly 40 years but have never done an invisible zip. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of how to do it - I feel a lot more confident to try.
So pleased.
Thank-you so much. Your explanations helped me understand all the moving parts to place that invisible zipper.
Fantastic news, I am so pleased. Aneka x
Top notch tutorial with clear explanations including optional basting, tacking and machine feet, fantastic videography and additional tutorials for plaid fabrics. Daniel
Thanks so much Daniel.
I’ve been sewing for many years and have always put patterns back because of invisible zippers, just never could get them to go in properly. This tutorial has really helped me to see how the process works and now I’m off to the fabric store to buy my first ever pattern with an invisible zip! Thank you so much for a really great tutorial!!!
Super tutorial! I just sewed my first invisible zipper and it looks GREAT, thanks to your advice!!
girltoinfinity oh I am so pleased! Huge thank you. Aneka x
Holy! I never imagined how complicated invisible zippers could be!
Once you have done them a few times they aren't that complicated. Just comes with practise! :-))
They are easy to sew it.
Excellent tutorial. I'm about to put in my first invisible zip and this has been invaluable. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Glad I could help.
This is one of the most clear and clean invisible zip tutorial, no rush and very patient, thank you very much.
I have watch many clips for the same topic, all left me headache and confused, yours take more than 40 mins and I just enjoy it all the long.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very pleased it was helpful and that you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the invisible zipper foot. Your tutorial just fills me with confidence as I’ve always avoided this method, but you make it so easy to follow. Look forward to your tutorials.
Thank you Marie. Really pleased the tutorial helped you. Aneka x
I saw 4 other invisible zippers on RUclips, this video is the best one. Thank you for using Metric as well, for us in Australia it helps so much- even though I've been sewing casually for 40 years. regards, from Brisbane Australia
Thank you very much Marietta. Aneka x
I found this extremely helpful because I was just struggling to put an invisible zipper on a dress I am making. I can't thank you enough for your help.
Thank you. Really pleased I could help!
I finally sewed my first invisible zipper today! Great success. This is the only video where I had the “ah-ha” moment of “I can do this”. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad I found your EXCELLENT tutorial! Thank you for explaining all the steps so well, and including instructions on inserting the zip into a pillow cover - exactly what I wanted to do!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very pleased that it was helpful.
Thank you for such a wonderfully detailed explanation on invisible zippers. All aspects and possible disasters were addressed so clearly. Feeling alot more confident now to tackle a new sewing technique.
Thank you Bronwyn. Glad I could help.
Aneka, absolutely brilliant. Really very clear. Thank you for this.
+Deborah Hallett I am so pleased it has been useful for you Deborah. Good luck with the sewing today! Your top looked stunning yesterday.
Best tutorial ever. Thanks
Thank you Maria. I'm so pleased that you found it helpful.
The BEST tutorial ever! THANK YOU! I finally learned how to insert an invisible zipper properly and easily.
Thanks Darlene.
First time sewing an invisible zipper and with your tutorial it turned out amazing!
Amazing! so pleased.
I find that Annieke's instructions are so clear. She is so precise and her intonation is so clear. Well done for a brilliant lesson which covers even the faults that can be made and how to recover from them. Thank you!
Thank you Carole.
Excellent video. Precise explanations, clear visuals. Thank you!
Thank you so much Marie. So pleased you liked it. Aneka x
I love these tutorials.
Oh thank you +Jennifer Jordan I am SO pleased that you are enjoying them! Thank you for your lovely comment.
An excellent & informative presentation. Thank you.
Really pleased I could help Julian.
Thanks for making it look so simple! Will surely try out these tricks!
Thank you. Aneka x
Thanks so much for the excellent tutorial! The saleslady at the fabric store advised me against invisible zippers, saying they're hard and never come out right. But I was making a skirt from traditional African fabric with shell fringe, and a visible zipper would look wrong. Your great advice, including ordering an invisible zipper foot, made my skirt come out great--like the usual wrap-around versions but without the revealing split/overlap and fussy ties--just right! Thanks again!
So pleased I could help Robin. Amazing news.
I love it! Beneficial to us who didn't had a formal training❤️💚 looking forward for more tutorials. Thank you and may the Lord bless you as you help others❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Glad this helped you.
Excellent Excellent Excellent. I have been a sewer since I was a child, but never quite mastered the invisible Zip... revelation.. Thank you x
Hi Helen, thank you for your lovely message. I am SO pleased you enjoyed it and I have been able to help you master the invisible zipper. Thank you and good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
This is a fantastic tutorial. Couldn’t be clearer to follow! Thank you, think I might be brave enough to have a go now with the dreaded invisible zip!
I am so pleased I could help. Thank you.
As always you’re the best Aneka!
I am so pleased Shirley. Thank you. Aneka 😃
great tutorial!!! so clear and detailed instructions. thanks.
Really pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thank you for the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever seen. Nothing else has been so clear.
Thank you very much Sue. Aneka x
I did it! I'm so proud of myself! I just started sewing a month ago (and not consistently). Thank you!
Stitching that tail area is very tricky.
Great job! So pleased this helped.
I DID IT! I DID IT! THANKYOU! NEVER COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOUR GUIDANCE!!! 🌺🌺🌺😊
I am so pleased this is amazing.
Oh my word... Thank you so much. I really needed to see this yesterday lol... anyway.. I’m just glad I found this. Thanks again.
So pleased. Aneka x
I just sewed an invisible zip for my copen dress! The tutorials are very useful for a beginner like me. Thanks.
I haven’t put in an invisible zipper in 20 years. I’ve ripped it out 8 times I think. I’ve been watching RUclips tutorials, struggling for about 8 hours. Ready to give up and put a lapped zipper in, but I felt my daughter’s wedding dress deserved a invisible zipper. I walked away from it to clear my head. Then your tutorial came across. So I watched it. You are a born teacher! You not only explain clearly how to do it, but how it works and some things to expect. I feel very confident I can do this now. I think it will still be difficult because of the lining. But I think I can. I wish I had found yours first. I look forward to finding more things from you once these dresses for the wedding are out of the way. 😉 Thank you for teaching.
You are great at these online tutorials , l have learned so many things from you, many thanks keep going we all appreciate you.❤
Thanks so much Wendy.
This is so infomative! Thank you. I love all the pointers.
Thank you. Aneka x

I would upvote this video a million times of I could
Thank you. That's very kind. I'm pleased it was helpful.
You are such a very good teacher. Very detailed and even help troubleshooting. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Shannon. That's very kind. I'm pleased I could help.
“Just be positive. You’re always learning”. This will now be my mantra! Thankyou so much for another great tutorial. Going to follow this step by step for my first zip today. 😊
Thank you 💖
I've never used a sewing machine before and now I'm sewing my first project thanks to your very helpful tutorial thank you so much
Thanks so much. Aneka
Just finished my first invisible zipper, I followed your instructions step-by-step and it looks amazing. It was a tricky one I had to match a collar seam and the material was slippery rayon , but you gave me all the tips I tagged and…and it looks perfect! Thank you so much!
This is so good to hear. Thank you.
Excellent video! It's been ages since I have sewn anything and an invisible zipper was always a challenge. Her method makes it easier and I will no longer fear it. My daughter doesn't like most patterns on dresses out there so I have been recruited to sew a few. Beyond zippers I used to be very good. Now I am ready to get started again to custom make a few aline short sleeved dresses. Thank you so much! I appreciate your articulate instructions, great photography and thankfully no annoying background music to distract. A+++ video!
Very pleased that you liked the video. Thank you.
very helpful... thank you!
Thank you, pleased I could help. Aneka x
So pleased to have found your site. Your video is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much. I look forward to following you on your other videos.
Hi Anne, thank you for your kind words, really pleased that I could help and you enjoy my style of teaching. Thank you, Aneka x
You couldn't have said it better, you're the best teacher I've ever came across, you're, you're number one, thanks very, very much for sharing, god bless you
Thank you so much for your very kind words. I'm very pleased you have found it helpful.
Thank You so much for taking the time to demonstrate this zip method, I for one, have never sewn in a invisible zip, after your demonstration I feel quite confident that I will be successful on my first try. Once again thank you
super tutorial!!! thank u!!😃😃😃
Thank you Esther, really pleased you enjoyed it. :-))
This is awesome! I have followed your instructions and it actually worked!!! My zipper is perfect for the first time. Thanks so much! I wish you make more tutorials, they are so good :)
Thank you that is so kind of you. I am so pleased that I could help. I do my best to make as many tutorials as possible - there is never enough time in the day! I still teach in person classes most weeks, so I have to fit around these. I have some free dressmaking patterns I will be launching asap and this will come with LOTS of tutorials. Aneka :-))
I have finished my McCalls' skirt following your instructions. I would be very pleased with an outcome if it wouldn't be slightly too big for me in hip area. I measured myself and size 16 was exactly my size. the finished skirt however is too loose. As you said - they added 4 inches which really is too much. I wonder if I can do something now? I would hate to rework it since it is sewed so nicely :). But I suspect there is no other way?
Anna Olejnik Hi Anna, is it just the hip area? Is the waist ok? In that case it should be an easy fix. Decide how much you want to take in and where? Perhaps try the skirt on inside out and pin in new stitching lines around the hip. You want to do this to the side seams only. Make sure that both sides match and re sew the seam you have pinned. Check it is correct. If it is correct then you remove the original stitching and press the seam open. If you have lots of seam allowance now you might want to trim this off and finish it as you did before. Let me know how you get on. Thank you so much for following the tutorial, I do hope you liked it! Aneka x
I am definitely going to try this. Thanks so much for your advise!
I hope it works. Aneka x
