1. Preparation materials: First of all, you need to prepare a zipper, a pair of zipper heads, some sewing threads and sewing needles.

2. Determine the position: put the zipper at the bottom of the placket to ensure that the length of the zipper is equal to the length of the placket. Leave a distance at both ends of the zipper so that you can install the zipper head on it later.

3. Fix the zipper: Fix the zipper on the front with sewing thread. Starting from one side of the front, sew the top of the zipper and the bottom of the front together with a needle and thread. Ensure that the sewing lines are evenly spaced and will not be twisted or loosened during sewing.

4. Install zipper head: Install zipper head at both ends of zipper. Some zipper heads can be directly glued to the zipper, while others need to be installed with tools such as screwdriver. Ensure that the zipper head is firmly installed and can slide smoothly.

5. Test effect: Finally, pull the zipper head to check whether the zipper is smooth and whether the front is flat and wrinkle-free. If everything is all right, then you have successfully finished sewing the front zipper of your coat.
