Z I P P E R s
ZIPPER? That's what I need to continue with my sewing project. As usual I've been very busy sewing yesterday. From making those terno: white blouse with white square pants then I was able to make a nice pair of shorts and then had an alteration of a blouse, white satin fabric with ruffles on its neckline.Finished three travelling bags using durable grey fabric.I don't really know what kind of textile this grey is but I know it's one of the most durable material ever. I broke two sewing machine needles because of its tough woven material that makes me grunt each time the sewing machine's thread got entangled giving a towelette stitches at the bottom of the fabric and noticed inside the bobbin are also entangled threads knotted together.When this hard to rule situation happened it makes me feel I have to stop what I'm doing and proceed to a task other than that. Read books, or read magazines perhaps. Just to relax.But I really have to do what I already started. So what I need is zipper. I need sets of zipper, the tough durable ones for durable material. You probably know how much is the price tag of zipper nowadays...in Canada! Shocking!!!! Just a 6" size (length) zipper is costly.The ordinary brand name zipper is worth $1.00 +tax. In the pricey store it's worth double.What I need are sizes: 20" (51 cms), 22" (56 cms) , 26" (66 cms) and maybe another 26" (66 cms) zipper. That's if I can find those sizes. Uhm good numbers for lotto eh? Ha ha ha!
