Ok, I finished the pants and put them on. Not bad, need a little tweaking sooooo- yep, I ripped out the waistband and then oops, the zipper pull gracefully separated from the zipper. Ok, I handle this.
Nope, couldn't fix it. So, I ripped out the whole zipper and facing. Pretty much back to square one.
Basted the zipper in again and caught the lining- can we say it's not a good night to sew? Removed the lining and now am back to putting the zipper in the pants. I hate to think I have not accomplished anything and have made negative progress this evening but it appears to be happening.
After I get these darn pants finished it is a break from the wardrobe contest to make 2 Halloween costumes before the weekend is out. Calgon, take me away...
So, I am not the only one to do that! I felt pretty stupid having to replace a perfectly good zipper. How many hours did you spend trying to fix it first? I only spent 2, which is less time than it took me to actually replace the zipper.
