seamstress sho!4not
Hubby blew a zipper .in a pair of
work pants last week, and seeing as he:
has .no knowledge of running the
sewing machine, it fell upon me to
replace it,
My expertise 'at the sewing machine
is the basic seam repair, So it' is at times
like this that I really wish I had paid
more attention in home' economic class-
es. Hindsight's great! ' '
Ripping, a zipper out of a pair of
pants is a
feat in itself.
However, I
do have one
of those
:handy dandy
little seam
rippers.As i .....
ripped out the old ,zipper, I had enough
• sense to pay attention' to the way it was .
coming' out, hoping I -could recall the
process to install the new one,
Usually when I'm forced to sit at -the
-sewing -machine repairing a sears, I ..
don't take the time to use straight pins
on the article. I clamp it together with
my fingers, ' stick it under the needle,
cross my ,fingers and then it's frill speed
-on the foot control.
Installing a zipper called for a little
. ntiore time and effort. I carefully' pinned
it; and checked that ,both sides were
equal in length: Lighter pressure on the
Riot control was caned"for.this time:
Even though they.are work pants I pre-
sumed he'd like to have a 'relatively
straight seam, Things ,were going
smoothly on the first side until I came
to the zipper puller ,upper (what do you .
-call that thing?) The needle, decided it
should move out a littlelurther, I Terse-.
vered and finished the stitching on both
sides, Major problem - the zipper I had
purchased was too long for the hole- * •
I could
take it out
and: get the
proper one,
but I'd had'
eno:ugh
f ,. �; ��•.:. >�.4 aggravation
one day:, .1,,
could leave the .extratwo inches flap-
ping bi; the crotch, but that might have • .
been a little uncomfortable for Mr F,ixit
ant•could have caused raised eyebrows.
I choseto cut off the: excess and
stitch back and forth across the Bottom
to make sure' the zipper,staYed put.
My finished effort Looked 'pretty,
good•, fora novice. I'm just waiting to
see how long it will last. But installa-
tion ,should be a little easier the next
time As •I . put away -;.the sewing -
machine, I noticed in the. little .gadget
box therewas=sonmething called a rip

an:::ice hockeystick there are two ways to
make it The first is tobend the wood into'.•

Making the sha.rp bend is not easy with the equip,

have this done at a local miil, where they have facili-
