So my friend Tiffeny (I know, I know, but that's how she spells it) had this fabulous black dress with silver spangles and a little bit of rhinestone trim. I noticed it when she was going to THROW IT AWAY. My reaction was essentially OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN YOU MONSTER. Turns out, the zipper was broken. I begged her to let me try to replace the zipper, even though fixing something like that in a finished garment is basically asking to have your world destroyed. So I got it home, and operation awesome dress rehab was in full swing. It actually wasn't the camber of horrors that I had imagined, and I got it fixed in about 20 minutes. I ended up not even having to replace the zipper, I just removed the stop and put it back on the track. AND IT IS FIXED. I'm so excited to show it to her.
Also, the skirt I'm making is coming along really well. I want to have it done by Saturday, but I doubt I'll be able to buckle down that much.
