I think I might have stretched and distorted the loose part of the zipper by doing this. I became accustomed to only closing my bag 3/4 of the way, although I made a few mistakes in the beginning and zipped over the detached part of the zipper, which didn't go well. I put it off for months because I didn't want to do it.
The Problem with the ZipperĪt first, I assumed that this zipper needed to be replaced entirely, which would have required deconstructing the bag, as the zipper is sewn into the lining. See my other posts on mending a rip in a cotton blouse, fixing tears in leggings, and replacing a zipper in a jacket.
This post is part of my everyday mending series to help you fix things instead of getting rid of them. It’s a pretty sturdy bag, but, like most things that get used a lot, it has started to show some signs of age. I like how it’s all fabric, so I can just throw it in the wash when it’s dirty, too. I love the fairy tale illustrator Arthur Rackham, so this bag has a special place in my heart.
I’ve had it for around a decade, and I’ve gotten a couple of versions of it from Baba Studio World over that time. It’s a relatively simple fix that only takes a few minutes of sewing by hand, and it extends the life of your bag, keeping it functional and safe to use!
