I don't know about you but zippers are a royal pain!!!! As most of you know I have a tailoring business and zippers are part of the deal. I decided last year to quit replacing jacket and coat zippers, you have to be really special for me to even talk about it!!!! Zippers in coats are really time consuming and people don't understand why it costs so much, so I have just quit. If the cleaners or other shops like to do zippers I say good deal!!! I will replace jean and pant zippers, they are not a problem!!!
So what to do with all these zippers, some are antique and some are just worthless so the sort begins. I have no idea how many zips there were, but I got them all organized in zip lock bags and labeled and put in a bin. I had already sorted and organized all the pulls and stops for repairs so now I am in good shape. I did throw out a bunch and have no idea what I'll do with the rest. I have seen some really cute flowers made with the zips, another project!!!!
This is my first of many drawers and cupboards to go thru I would just like to have the whole mess organized once and for all!!! But for you that sew and craft we all know that is a pipedream!!!
Happy New Year to all!!!!!!
Good job organizing. What a nice way to start the New Year. I don't know anyone who can be organized all the time-- it's a work in progress. For inspiration, watch an episode of "The Hoarders" on cable TV. ST Vinnie's and Goodwill are your friends -- let go of excess and organize the rest. Relax and enjoy your stitching and know you will have to stop once in a while to reorganize.
