I was reading Kylie’s blog over a cup of lemon juice in hot water this morning and saw this giveaway on Little Munchkins. Go and have a look – it’s a lovely blog anyway!
I am up to sewing the zip on Sophie’s Jacket but not 100% sure how to do it – do you hand stitch it with wool, do you machine stitch it with thread or do you hand stitch it thread? I’m all for machine sewing it on but it’s probably not the right thing to do? Any suggestions?

I always hand stitch. But first I baste it on to get the position right – it’s important to do this and try it on if it’s a fitted jacket. Sometimes I’ll sew a bit of cotton tape over the zip, too. It looks better and keeps the ends in place.

I always hand stitch with thread first and then sew over it with the machine. It helps it to stop moving and also puts it in the right place too. Good luck!!
