A shout out to the sewing people on my f-list

[gurdymonkey]

My sister produced a pair of low rise jeans with a blown zipper and asked if they could be salvaged. I cannot find a 4" metal toothed jeans zipper anywhere for love or money. Obviously jeans manufacturers have the things or they wouldn't be making these pants. Anybody know where I can find or order one?

yeah, what ladycelia said.

Either very carefully work the staple out and move it up 2", or just use carpet thread or buttonhole twist and bar tack it 2" above the staple. Then you can trim the excess off.
