ZIPPERS ... like them or loathe them ...

The sweat shop is operating again ...

I'm reminded ...

how I loathe ...

 sewing zippers ...

my stash includes zippers of all shapes ...

sizes, colours and lengths like these!

For me zippers symbolise  ...

fun ...

unique art ...

lavish embellishments ...

or perfect on a roll!

Deconstructing ... Waste No Do Want ... old zippers

For as long as I can remember this small bag sat in Dad's wardrobe ...

it was his 'emergency' tool kit ...

for the little jobs needed doing inside the house ...

now inside was grotty, ripped, smelly ...

time for it to go ... 

but ...

not before I rescued the zippers and catches ...

Ooops ...

I've just remembered ...

I need to go salvage the handle too ...

Waste Not Do Want ...

a scroungers work is never done!
