For years I’ve had a secret fear. Something that haunts me and I have let this singular terror hold me back from things in life.
I have a fear of zippers.
Now, it’s not a problem if they’re already sewn to something I’m using. Rather I’ve had serious issues with putting a zipper on anything I’m sewing.
GOD BLESS THE INTERWEBS. Remember that post I recently wrote on the miracle of the Internet? Well, tack this on to the large, long list of ways it’s enriched my life. Online tutorials.
Online tutorials helped me learn to knit, then eventually crochet which I do almost every day. Online tutorials remind me of things I know how to do, but the basic composition of it eludes me when I’m out of practice (like the proper ratios for Bechamel sauce between the fat, flour and liquid) so when I need this information I turn to my laptop instead of wasting time straining for the information myself.
Anyway, I fear zippers no more! Thanks to the internet I’ve overcome my fear. When I have a minute, I will post pictures of what I made. It’s nothing earth shattering, just a couple of zipper pouches, BUT THEY’RE ZIPPERS!
And God bless whoever invented the zipper foot. What a great thing that is!
