A lapped zipper is a really nice alternative to a basic centered zipper. If you are unable to sew an invisible zipper, then a lapped zipper is your next best option. It has a nice clean finish and really looks nice on garments.
Below you will find links to individual videos that show you step by step how to sew a lapped zipper. Each of these 6 videos is a detailed mini-step of the overall tutorial. I don’t leave anything out… so you can learn confidence in sewing a lapped zipper!
Sit back, watch and learn… and enjoy!

This is really helpful, as there are many steps involved. However, I would have liked a “quickie” version, where you compress the six videos into one that was about 8 or 10 minutes long. For instance, the video where you apply the interfacing could’ve been about 30 seconds long for someone who basically knows how to do this. –Just a suggestion! It is still really great. thanks.

Great feedback Kathrin! Thank you. I like the idea of a beginner level series and a series for the more experienced sewer. I will put this on my list of to-dos. Thanks again
