How To Sew A Fly Front Zipper (Pant Example)

8/22/2019

4 Comments

 
I've been wanting to write this little tutorial for a little while now. I'm not exactly sure if it was my fear of sewing a fly front zipper or never quite finding the time, but it has been put on the back burner for about a year now. Now that I'm finally getting down to it, I'm feeling pretty inspired.
Picture
It is true, all zippers can feel a bit intimidating. However, a fly front style in particular is its own spices, or shall I say, beast. I was forced into sewing one recently when I created some custom outfits for two (super talented) musicians (I'll show you more later!). This particular fly front zipper belonged to a pair of jean-like mens trousers. Needless to say, it had to look the part and function by the book. ​
In the steps below, I'll show you the steps for sewing this exact zipper, including an intro to the pattern pieces you need and how to put it all together. Although the zipper in this tutorial is sewn into a pair of pants, an identical process will work for sewing one to a skirt, given that there is a seam able to house it, of course. ​
What is a fly front zipper? As the name suggests, this style is sewn to the fly of women's or menswear trousers (although conventionally used for almost all men's bottoms). There is a directional rule to differentiate between womens wear and menswear: In women's clothing, the fly placket is positioned right over left while in men's clothing it is left over right (shown in this tutorial). 
The components of a fly front zipper:
Fly shield: This is a clean finished piece (self finished or faced) that resembles the shape of the facing described below. The fly shield is placed on the garment's wrong side such as to provide stability and a protective shield between the zipper teeth and human skin. In simple words, when you unzip a fly front zipper, the fly shield is the back portion that opens along with the zipper providing a flap-like structure behind one of the zipper teeth rows. 

Fly facing: The fly facing isn't as obviously visible as the fly shield but if you look carefully, you will quickly spot it. The facing is a layer of fabric shaped similar or identical to the fly shield that is used to clean finish the main fly placket. If you look along the edge of the placket (outside flap of the zipper), you will find the facing used as a backing for this placket. If this sounds confusing now, the video above and the steps below will provide lots of clarity!

The zipper: While you can use any regular zipper for a fly front application, keep in mind that this zipper style always requires a much shorter zipper (5"-6") so most will need to be shortened as I did in this tutorial. A little more on zipper choice below.
What zipper should you use?
A fly front application normally requires a heavier pant zipper with metal zipper teeth. This style of zipper is generally more heavyweight and can withstand the wear and tear of jeans and most trousers. In instances were you need a lighter zipper or need the perfect color match, you may choose to use a regular zipper. Most likely, a regular zipper will need to be shortened to about 5" since the shortest length available on the market is around 7". I'll show you an easy technique for doing this as a last step in the zipper application process. If you want to shorten the zipper prior to sewing it, you can use the technique described in this tutorial: How To Alter A Zipper- Shortening And Altering A Zipper For Dress Placket Use. 
The sewing patterns and tools: 
For this style zipper, I feel that it is very necessary to add a little note on sewing patterns as it requires the extra fly shield and facing. Of course it is easiest to buy the patterns with these pieces already included. If you're feeling adventurous, you can actually generate your own patterns  for these two portions by using the seam on the original pattern as a blue print. If you want a patterning tutorial on this, let me know in the comment section below! The technique is very similar to that of generating a facing pattern. If curious, here is a facing pattern tutorial to use as reference: How To Make A Sewing Pattern For A Round Neckline Facing. 

Sewing The Fly Front Zipper

Picture
1. Cut out all your pattern pieces: You should have two pieces (identical mirror images) for the fly shield, one piece for facing, and the garment layers comprising the seam that will house the fly zipper.
Picture
2. First, measure how long you’d like the fly opening to be. Mine is 6” from the waist down the trousers' center front seam.
Picture
Starting at this location (6” down from waist), stitch to about 1” away from the end  of the seam as shown. Leaving  the end open will help you manipulate the seam much easier in the sewing process.
Picture
​Apply a hand basting stitch in the exact shape and at the exact location you’d like the topstitch to appear on the final fly. To do this, I marked the general curve with pins, then used them as a general guide for hand basting my curve. The curved part should end where the crotch seam stitch starts at the top.
Picture
3. Clean finish the curved outer edge of the fly facing- I used a serging stitch but you can use whatever option you prefer (zig zag stitch, binding, etc). Leave the vertical straight edge and the top horizontal edge unfinished. These edges will naturally be clean finished by the pants’ seams and waistband.
Picture
4. Sew the fly shield: Place the two layers on top of each other such that the fabric’s face sides are touching.
Picture
Pin and stitch along the curved edge following the designated seam allowance on your patterns (mine is ¼”).
Picture
Clip triangle wedges into the seam allowance along the most curved area of the seam. This will prevent tension and allow the finished fly shield to lay flat.
Picture
Flip the fly shield on its right side and iron it flat along its curved seam.
Picture
Before proceeding, clean finish the raw vertical edges using any method of your choice. I used serging because that’s easiest for me. You may choose a zig zag stitch on your home sewing machine, binding or folding and stitching one edge over the other.
Ok, all components are now prepped and ready to be put together!
Picture
Align the straight edge of the fly facing to the left edge of the pant seam such that the fabric’s face sides are touching and the top horizontal edges are also perfectly aligned. Pin the two layers together perpendicularly as shown. Pin only up to where the seam stitch starts. The facing should be a little longer, going about 1-1.5” inches past the beginning of the crotch seam stitch as shown.
Picture
Picture
6. Stitch the fly facing at the designated seam allowance (1/2” for me). Stop at the beginning of the crotch seam stitch.

The end of the facing should be left unstitched as shown.
Picture
Iron the seam with the seam allowance pointing towards the facing (away from the garment) as shown.
Picture
7. Place the closed zipper face down on top of the facing such that the left zipper tape aligns with the seam and the zipper end is about ¾” to 1” up from the bottom of the facing. The top of the zipper will extend past the top of the facing or pant upper edge. Leave it as is for now- I’ll show you how to trim off the excess and shorten the zipper as one of the last steps in this tutorial. Pin the zipper in this position or hand baste for extra stability on both zipper tapes.
Picture
8. Stitch down the right zipper tape through the facing underneath. Apply two stitches: one that is closer to the zipper teeth and the other along the tape edge.
Picture
9. Turn the facing towards the wrong side of the trousers and such that the facing seam aligns with the fold line. Press this edge  with your iron.
Picture
10. Apply pins or a hand basting stitch to hold the facing and zipper in this position.
Picture
11. Topstitch the pant layer and facing underneath following the basted curve as a guide. I applied my stitch at about ½” away form the basting and just used as a guide for the general shape. You may stitch directly next to the basting depending on where yours is located in relation to the facing. Be careful not to catch the zipper stop or left zipper tape when you arrive at the bottom of the curve.
Picture
12. Turn the fly on its right side and fold the right edge  of the seam ¼” out from the seamline. Iron and hand baste to keep the fold in place.
Picture
 If you are confused about the 1/4" distance, think of it this way: My seam allowance is 1/2" which means that my seamline is located at 1/2" distance the fabric's edge. I folded my fabric 1/4" from its raw edge which left another 1/4" from the fold to seam line. Follow this logic for whatever your seam allowance is- the goal is to always have a distance of 1/4" from the fold to the seam line.  ​
Picture
 13. Next, pin the folded edge to the right zipper tape with the fold line aligning right next to the zipper teeth as shown. Don't stitch yet, we have to add the fly shield.
Picture
Picture
14. At this point, turn the fly application on its wrong side and place the fly shield down such that its curved edge aligns with the facing's curve or the topstitch (depending on where it is located on your fabric). Insert some pins to keep the fly shield aligning correctly for the next step. ​
Picture
15. Turn the fly back on its right side. Hand baste down next to the zipper teeth through all layers of the right zipper tape, pant fabric and fly shield underneath. ​
Picture
16. Remove all the pins from the back and open the zipper. Using a  zipper foot stitch all the layers in place next to the zipper teeth, and ending at the zipper coils. You may have to shift the zipper tab up as you get to the bottom so you can continue stitching in a straight line all the way to the end. Move all the stitch threads to the wrong side, knot and tie them to prevent the stitch from unraveling. ​
Picture
Picture
​Remove all hand basting stitches.
Picture
17. Last but not least, lets shorten the zipper: Keeping the zipper open, cut the excess of the zipper teeth and tape on each side to align with the garment's edge. 
Picture
Apply a horizontal straight stitch on each end to prevent the zipper slider from sliding off at the end. ​
Picture
