One of the op shop buys I mentioned in my last post was a vest which had a broken front zip.
Yesterday I bought a new zip and my project for today was to replace the broken zip.
Replacing zips can be a bit of a challenge as they are generally inserted fairly early in the garment construction, therefore, it is a bit of a balancing act to deconstruct enough of the garment to allow the removal and replacement of the zip.
I have managed to achieve my goal reasonably successfully.
Is it perfect? No.
Is it good? Yes.
Am I happy with the result? Absolutely.
New zip inserted
Zipped up.
Wearing the finished garment.
The zip cost me $8.50 which was more than double what I paid for the vest but I still regard it as $12.50 well spent to have this addition to my wardrobe.
