How to Replace Zip in Jeans
 genie.jpg)
When jeans are manufactured the zip is put in with the benefit of easy access to the panels. Once the jeans are made, and a zip breaks, I have developed an easy technique for unpicking and putting a new zip into jeans. This can all be done on your domestic sewing machine, with just a few little tricks of the trade to make the zip replacement look totally professional.
There are 23 illustrations for absolutely every step of the way. If you have my book, Clothing Alteration Secrets Revealed, you do not need to buy this ebook, because the process in already in the book.[eB106]

Dear Judith,
I bought your book a couple of years ago and have been receiving your emails ever since. I just wanted to share this little something with you.
Although I have been sewing for a long time now and I have put zips in items that I have made. I have never replaced a zip in anything as it scared me (that's funny I know but it did). This week I got sick and I was unable to do anything not even look after my family. So I got my copy of your book out and two pairs of pants that needed the zips replacing, my quick unpick and started to take out the zips. I have to say that I never thought that unpicking anything could be theraputic but I loved the whole process of taking the zip out. Yesterday I was feeling a bit better so I got my trusty little Janome out and along with your book right beside me I proceeded to replace the zips. I loved they went in beautifully and your instruction in the book was wonderful it was like having someone talking me through one step at a time. I have to say that one pair of the pants the zip I put back in was better than the zip I took out.
I'll never be afraid of replacing zips again. In fact a friend has asked me to replace a zip in her husbands pants and she is going to pay me for it. :)
Judith, do you think $15 is alright to charge for replacing a zip? I also wanted to ask you about your 2nd book is it just the same as the first one or is there extra information in there that is not in the first one? I suggested she charge AUD$25 to replace zippers.
So thank you for an excellent book and giving me the courage to try something new.
