Personally I think it's a labour of love, lol, I sure don't see replacing jean zips as a fun way to earn a spot of walking around money. (Sez the woman who actually does do this for walking around money. I also repair wax cotton jackets. I'm very popular with farmers and sportsmen, and yes, I think I am a glutton for punishment:)<br /><br />Still, with a great tutorial like Jilly's it's easy to learn or tweak a method that results in a replaced zip that looks great. Thank-you for all the pics, this is one of the better tutes out on the 'Net for replacing a jeans zip!Fox's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898478063725020924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-20691411083886815562013-02-16T09:13:18.891-08:002013-02-16T09:13:18.891-08:00Impressive!

"They fit, they feel good, they're comfy." That sounds like a loyal pattern, ready to serve you again. Are you trying to make Mr. Black Sheep jealous of all the time you are going to spend with the new jeans pattern? <br /><br />Lisa from BABESLisa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15500119410460182057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-91550095604210402782013-02-14T08:14:24.202-08:002013-02-14T08:14:24.202-08:00You made it look so easy!
