I like Bama's pattern a lot. It's very similar to the one I like but easier I'm sure. I'm glad for the "tilted waist" info, Marty. That's the problem I have all the time with patterns. (And I thought it was my big butt causing the problem!)

Keep us posted (no pun intended :D ), Theresa.

I wrote a fly zipper tutorial a while a go. Quite frankly, I think ... no, I know it's really an excellent tutorial. ;)

It has pictures with notes and arrows on them as well as words. I encourage you to check it out.

Fly zippers are really easy. Really.

And how about I include the URL?

ETA: all the pictures are clickable, so you can see my fabulous work in large images with lots of detail. :)

But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feast upon strawberries, sugar, and cream.

I don't have a pattern recommendation but this web site has a good tutorial for putting in a fly zipper. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/383 ... ont-zipper

Thanks, guys! I use it, too. It really makes a fly easy.

Oops, sorry. I didn't even realize neefer had posted her tutorial when I did Sandra's. I'll have to remember to double check next time.
