Vetoketju vaihtoon / Shiny new zipper

Näiden itse ommeltujen housujen piilovetoketju oli alkanut takkuilla, joten vaihdoin sen uuteen. Olin ostanut jostain käsityöliikkeestä pitsikuvioidun turkoosin vetoketjun, jonka ompelin paikalleen, vaikka se olikin hieman liian lyhyt. Nyt housut on kuitenkin korjattu. Pyrkimykseni oli korjata vähintään kolme vaatetta näin tee-se-itse-toukokuussa.

One of my Me-Made-May pledges was to mend minimum of three things, and these culottes are the third mended piece of clothing of the month. I have sewn these trousers several years ago. The zipper started to get stuck, so I decided to mend the situation by attaching a new zipper. I had bought a lacy novelty zipper from craft store and replaced the old one with that, even if it was tad short. I also attached a hook and a bar to keep the trousers in place.

Neulepaita on omatekoinen, kuten housutkin. Loput kamppeet valmisvaatteita. 

As a part of Me-Made-May I try to wear several me-mades each day of May. This sweater is DIY, as are the culottes. Rest is ready-to-wear.
