And, we want to sew this pattern to the right side of the pant.
However, I’m going to label that pattern. First of all, I just made a mistake. Instead, of selecting the whole pattern, I only select an internal line. I’m going to press command/control plus letter Z to un-do that. OK, after that. Once again guys, click one on the page to de-select because CLO tries to help us out by leaving select every function, that we have done along the way.

By the way guys, it barely shows this box, but if I zoom in closer, you will see this typing box, right here. The typing box allows you to click on it and then drag it to move to whichever location you want, right over here. OK. So, let me zoom out. Now, we just labeled these pattern pieces.
How to Measure the Pattern Length in CLO3D
Next, I want to measure this length because this is where we are going to sew the zipper to, OK. We will sew the zipper to here and here. To do that, I’m going to measure this internal line to measure internal line.
It is easy. I’m going to come over here to this Edit Pattern Tool, and click on it. Then click on that line right there. And as you can see, it is 16.21 centimeters. OK. So we want to add a zipper notch right here, 16.21.
How to Use the Notch Tool in CLO3D
So to do that, I’m going to zoom in a little bit. OK. So remember right here, 16.21. And we want that zipper notch right here, 16.21. To do that, I’m going to come over here to this Notch Tool, click on it, to select. Then come back to that line right there that we want to apply the notch, hover the mouse over it, and then right-click.
This will open the notch window, and I’m going to show you a little tip here. So we have line 1 and line 2: line 1 is yellow, and line 2 is blue. So depending on what direction off the length you want it from. Since, for this example, we want the length of the direction from the top down right here.
So the length right here is in the blue line. And I’m going to type in 16.21, 16.21 centimeter is for the zipper length. OK. Next, I’m going to come down here and click OK to confirm.
I’m going to zoom in a little closer because I want to place another notch right here. This one, we don’t have to measure the length of the notch because I am going to just place the notch on top of that point right there. Just click on it, now we just place another notch. So, let me click once on the page to de-select.
OK. To do that, I have to come over here to this Transform Pattern Tool, and then click once on the page to de-select. So I’m going to zoom in right here. Now, we have two notches already. I’m going to do the same on this opposite side. Let me zoom out a little bit and pan it to the left. OK.
So once again, come to this Notch Tool, click on it. And then come back over here to the pattern, hover the mouse onto that pattern that we are going to place the notch. Then, hover the mouse over it, and right-click, and once again, line 1 line 2. Once again, we want the direction from the top to the bottom, so we have to select line 2 and the length is 16.21.
After that, I’m going to come down here and click on OK to confirm. And once again, I’m going to zoom in a little more because we want to apply one more notch right here on to that point. And I’m going to click on it to apply the notch.

How to Sew Front Zipper with Fly in CLO3D
OK. To sew the zipper, first I’m going to sew this right fly to this right front pant and sew this left fly to this left, front pant.
To do so, I’m going to come over here to this second sewing machine icon, click on it. Then I’m going to select Segment Sewing Tool. After that, I’m going to click once right here to place the sewing.
Then I’m going to click once over here to sew that piece to this front pant. I’m going to do the same with this opposite side. Click once to place the sewing and then click once again on these pants so we can sew that piece to…
After that, I’m going to sew right here, you see this top piece right here. I’m going to sew that to this waistband. OK, next, I’m going to come over here to this 3D window and I’m going to zoom out a little bit because I want to see both on the flies.
OK. Next, I’m going to come over here to Select/Move Tool click on it, to get out of that Sewing Tool. Then I’m going to come over here and click once on that, fly right there and drag it over.
I will do the same thing to the other one, click it and then drag it over. Now I’m going to click once on the page to de-select and I want to zoom back in just a little bit. OK, next, I’m going to superimpose these flies onto the pants. To do so, I’m going to click once on that fly right there, right-click, and then select superimpose side.
I’m going to repeat the step with this fly right here. Just click once on that fly, right-click, and select superimpose side. OK, now I’m going to click once on the page to do select.
After that, I’m going to press on the spacebar to simulate. I’m going to press on the spacebar once again to stop the simulation. OK, so I’m going to just rotate the pants down just a little bit and a little bit to the right.
After that, I’m going to show the zipper onto the fly. To sew the zipper, I have two options. I can either come over here to this 3-D window and select the zipper or I can come over here to the menu and material and then zipper and then select zipper.
OK. And this is where we are going to sew the zipper to. We want to sew one side of the zipper on this side right here and the other on this line right there, this internal line. OK. To do that, I’m going to come over here to this 3D window and I’m going to sew the zipper right there
You see hover the mouse over that line right there. And you will see this blue point appear. I’m going to click once to place the zipper. Then, I’m going to click twice to end the zipper. I’m going to repeat the step on this line right there.
OK, click once to start. Then I’m going to click twice to end the zipper. OK. It looks like we have some problems here. OK, so the zipper is not equal in length. I made a mistake and I sew it up here a little bit.
So, I’m going to delete that zipper and then resew it. To do so, I’m going to come over here to this Select/Move Tool, click on it, to select. Then come back over here and click on that zipper and then press on the delete/backspace key on the keyboard to delete.
Next, I’m going to click on this pattern piece right here, right there. And, I’m going to just bring it out a little bit. Just click on that yellow square, and then drag it out. And I’m going to click on this piece right here, and I want to bring that in by click and drag.
So, click on this piece to bring that out, click on this left piece, excuse me, click on this right piece right here to bring it in. And I’m going to press on the spacebar once again to simulate. OK, so now looks like we have more space to sew the zipper onto the pants.
So, I’m going to click on this simulation icon to stop the simulation. Then, I’m going to come over here to this Zipper Tool click on it, to select. Once again, and this time I’m going to once again place my zipper carefully, and let’s zoom in a little more.

So, once again, I’m going to click once to place the zipper and just hover the mouse down here and click twice to end. So, the zipper looks much better already. As you can see right here, this blue is highlighted. This is a zipper that we sew on to as well as this zipper.
So, next, after we sewed the zipper onto the fly, I’m going to fold that fly. To fold the fly, I’m going to come over here to this 3D Toolbar and click on this Fold Arrangement Tool to select. Then, I’m going to come back over here to these pants and then hover the mouse over this line right there.
OK, see this blue highlight appear, click on it. And then, you see this opposite arrow pop up. I’m going to click on this red arrow and then drag it forward to fold. OK, next, I’m going to click one on this Select/Move Tool get out that Fold Arrangement Tool.
After that, I’m going to come over here, to this 2D workspace, and I’m going to click once on this pattern. So in reality, when sewing a zipper. The pattern right here would be parallel to this shape right here because we want to sew this part right there of the fly with the placeholder on the zipper.
OK. So it will make sense in a bit. So, we will apply that real-world sewing onto CLO because it works the same way, guys. So while that pattern is selected, I’m going to come over here to this 3D window and just hover the mouse over right there on this yellow square right there, and then
right-click. Then, I’m going to select Flip Normal. OK. So, as you can see, now the pattern piece looks exactly like this front left pattern shape. OK. Next, I’m going to press on the spacebar to simulate. OK. So we have a little issue here.
Let me click once on the page to de-select first. Then, I’m going to rotate the pants to the front view. OK, so right here, this right front fly. We want it to go in a little bit further because we want this front left pant to hover above this front right fly.
To do that, I’m going to click on that fly right there, then, I’m going to rotate the pan to the side because we want to drag it inward. OK. Now, I’m going to press number 2 on the keyboard to see the front view on the pants.
Then I’m going to press on the spacebar to simulate. And, I’m going to press on the spacebar once again to stop the simulation. And, I’m going to zoom in just a little bit. OK, and I’m going to click once on the page to deselect.

OK, so I’m going to come over here to the second sewing machine icon once again and click on it. Then hover the mouse to the right, and select this Segment Sewing Tool. After that, I’m going to zoom in a little more.
And I want to come right here. See right there, click once to start the sewing, and then click over here to sew the front pieces together. OK, next, I’m going to press on the spacebar once again to simulate.
OK, that is pretty awesome. I’m going to press down the spacebar once again to stop the simulation. After that, I’m going to come over here and click on this Select/Move Tool, to get out of that Sewing Tool, so we can see it better.
OK. look at that guy’s zipper is much better already. However, there are a few more things that we can do to improve the zipper. Number one, the zipper is too big, and number 2 the zipper does not have the matching color to the pants.
Let me come back to this 2D window, and I want to un-strengthen these pants right here. OK. And I’m going to press command or control plus letter A to select all of the pattern pieces in this 2D window. And I’m going to right-click
be sure you place the mouse on top of that pattern. OK, then, I’m going to select un-strengthen. OK. After that, I’m going to click once on the page to deselect. OK. So now I’m going to come over here to this 3D workspace and I’m going to press down the spacebar once again to simulate.
And I want to pull this right here. You see right here, this front pants over just a little bit. OK, then I’m going to pull over here and then press on the spacebar once again to simulate.
Next, I’m going to click once on the workspace to de-select. OK, so we are going to modify the zipper as well as change the color to the pants color, which is easy to do guys. First of all, let me just expand this window a little bit.
OK, the pant looks pretty awesome. OK, to modify the zipper, I’m going to come over here to this Select/Move Tools, and click on it. Then, I’m going to click once on that zipper right there. After that, I’m going to come over here to this Property Editor.
And if I scroll down over here, this width right there instead of 0.5, I am going to change it to 0.3 OK. Then, I’m going to press return to enter on the keyboard to confirm. After that, I’m going to press on the spacebar to simulate.
OK, it looks better already. Next, I’m going to come down here. So by the way guys, as you can see, the zipper is still selected because this highlight yellow appears on it, OK. So, next, I’m going to once again, guys, press on the spacebar to stop the simulation.
And then, I’m going to come over here to this Property Editor and come down here to the color. I want to click on that color swatch right there to bring this color window, and this is my favorite tool.
an Eyedropper Tool, click on it to select. Then, I’m going to come over here and click once on to that pants. After that, I’m going to press the escape key on the keyboard to get out of the Eyedropper Tool.
And I’m going to come down here and click on, OK. OK. So we just have altered the zipper. However, we want to change this zipper pull as well as the stopper and so forth. And I will show you why.
First of all, let me click once on the page to deselect. And I’m going to click once on that zipper pull right there. And you can see it’s now highlighted in yellow. Now, I can come over here to this Property Editor.
All right, so there are a few things. For the slider, I’m going to click on this twirling arrow and then change it to the first one, then, for the puller, I want to click on that twirling arrow once again and change it to this one.
So, this looks more like a pants puller number 14. A stopper, That’s very important, guys, let me come over here and I want to rotate the pants to the right so I can show you.
You see right here that stopper right there. It’s called an open-end stopper. We don’t want that because the open and stopper are for a jacket and it is not for pants, OK. For pants, we want a close-end zipper. So, to do that, while that zipper pull and zipper stopper are selected, I’m going to come back to this Property Editor.
And under stopper right there is open-end, you want to click on this twirling arrow and then select on this close end. And, as you can see, it’s improved already. It looks better. However, we can do even better.
So, right there to this top right there, it’s huge. We want to change it to a smaller one. So right there twirling arrow, click on it. And, we only have two options: big and small, so we will pick the small one.
The same at the bottom, OK. So click on that twirling arrow once again. You have big and small to pick the small one for the color. And as you can see along the way, the zipper getting better and better.
And there are more things which we can do. Let’s see, since it is the zipper pull, we want it to have a plastic look instead of a matte look. So, I’m going to change the type instead of fabric matte I want to change it to plastic.
OK, and one last thing, which is my favorite, changing the color. To do that, I’m going to come over here to the color swatch and click on it to bring this color window. And after that, I could use an eyedropper tool, click on it to select.
And I’m going to just click once on the pants. However, the zipper pull kind of blends into the pants themselves. We don’t want that, I want it to be a little bit more visible. OK, to do that, first of all, let’s get out of that Eyedropper Tool, just click on the escape key on the keyboard.
Now, I’m going to come back over here to this color palette, just kind of click on that plus sign right there and then drag. You see the color, change it for the zipper pull. Just change it to whatever color you like.
I think I like that one. I’m going to come over here and click on OK to confirm. OK, next, I’m going to click once on the page to deselect, it looks better already. However, for this zipper to be complete, we need top stitches.
OK. So we are going to apply the top stitches right here and right here. OK. So to apply the top stitches, I have two options to get the top stitches. OK. You can either come over here to this top menu and click on materials and then topstitch or edit topstitch, segment topstitch, free topstitch, etc.
You can click whichever one you want. However, I’m going to click segment topstitch or you can come over here to this 2-D toolbar. And as you can see right here, this is the top stitch tool. You just click on it and then you can see over here segment topstitch, free topstitch, and so on.
And you can select whatever you want. And right above that is the edit topstitch which allows you to modify the top stitch or delete it altogether if you don’t want the topstitch. So I’m going to show you how to do that.
So as you can see, the top stitch is active. I’m going to come over here and zoom in a little bit. OK. And as I mentioned earlier, I want to apply this topstitch right here and right here.
So to apply this topstitch, when you hover the mouse over here you see this little blue highlight up here, and then you just click on it to apply top stitch to it. And I’m going to do the same down here because I want the top stitch here too, click on it, OK?
Next, I’m going to you see it right here. If you’ve come to this object browser, you see this topstitch right here, you can click on that topstitch. Right there. And then you come down to this property. Editor, you can change and modify it how you like.
But I’m not going to worry about that for now. I’m going to come over here and show you a couple of things here. So if I somehow press the spacebar to simulate, I won’t see the topstitch. You will see in a second.
OK, so now the top stitch has disappeared. So I’m going to press on the spacebar once again to stop the simulation. Now you get to see the top stitches. So if that happened, don’t be alarmed. And another thing I want to point out right here.
Let’s say I hate the top stitch right here. I don’t like it. So to delete that top stitch I’m going to come over here and then select this at the top stitch and I’m going to come over here, click on that top stitch specifically, and press on the delete key on the keyboard to delete.
OK. Now that topstitch has disappeared. However, I like that topstitch. So I’m going to press down command or control. Plus, letter z To undo. OK, so now we just apply the top stitches to the front zipper.
And it looks amazing. So first of all, this pant is a tailor-made pants. OK, so we only need one top stitch right here. OK. OK. Extra tips Designistas. So I’m going to fasten this button once again, there are two ways to get that button fastened.
To do that, I’m going to come over here to this material, then go to the button and select fasten the button. Or I can come over here to the 3D toolbar and right over here click on Fasten button.
OK, next, I’m going to come over here to this to the 2-D window and I’m going to come over here to this button right here. Click on that button first. OK, then hover the mouse to the right to that buttonhole and then click on it.
And now we just fasten this button next. I’m going to just press down the spacebar to simulate. OK, as you can see, we just fastened this button, and I’m going to press on the spacebar again to stop the simulation and I’m going to select the select/move tool to get out of the fasten button tool
And as you can see, we have the perfect front pant button as well as a front zipper and fly. Thanks so much for watching Designistas. I hope you found this video useful and consider subscribing for more awesome videos.
