i love this pattern and have made over 5 pants following this video. I dont think I can do the fly with this video. The instructor did a great job. I've love to see more videos from her and from simplicity pattern.

Zipper and fly seem complicated even after explanation. My opinion may change once I've actually started sewing the pants. Wish me luck!
