1 – Place zipper stop at bottom of opening so excess is at top. Sew zipper.

2 – Unzip zipper below waistline.

3 & 4 – Sew forward and back through teeth on each side of zipper (don’t worry; this won’t hurt your needle).

5 – Make sure your new “stop” actually stops zipper.

6 & 7 – Cut excess zipper tape
