Easy walk with carrier

You could just take it to a local repair shop. Can recomend "In Stitches" in St. Andrews, but that is a bit far. Why not try this, Linda's Alterations from Dunfermline. Can't be much different doing a sleeping bag from a garment. She seems to specialise. Otherwise. many dry cleaners do th...

Before doing anything like that, first try the "plier-pinch-goodtogo" solution. Take two pliers and gently pinch both "wings" of the "runner" of the zip. Easiest fix possible, but good enough for 90 out of 100 "broken" zippers. Pinch or sew just anything over...

With Annie and Laura
