MsWhatsit said... Thanks - but I only see 2 other reviews of this pattern and only 1 of those is for the pants... she did mention the no waistband issue but she didn't really address how to fix the floppy facing. Maybe I'm missing something? 5/1/06 0:16 AM

This video is by Sandra Betzina, and for me is the easiest way to put in a fly front zipper, and what I always use! Sorry to hear about the facing, I hate facings, could you tack it down near seam areas? They look good! 5/1/06 7:37 AM
