Honestly, Sandra makes it look so freakin' easy! Now I can't wait to go home, rip the front right outta those pants (again) and put that zipper in the right way. BUT, it may be too late for these. Too much handling, too many seam rippers and too many trimmed seam allowances. But I may be up for the next pair of slacks sooner than expected. Seriously, this zipper thing just freaked me out! I have SB's book, don't know why it didn't occur to me to look there. Or in Reader's Digest. Or in Singer circa 1945 - okay, maybe not there, zippers were still a novelty, but you get the idea. I had a number of resources available to me other than the Butterick enlarged picture pinned to my bulletin board that obviously isn't worth the paper it's copied on. But hopefully, this: 
will never happen again. This just should not be. Nope, nope, nope.
will never happen again. This just should not be. Nope, nope, nope.This spawns 2 questions: (1) why do I forget to use the resources available? They're on the shelf right behind me. (2) why do spend good stash money on books if I'm not going to use them?
Ah well, back to work and dreaming of a week of fabric shopping, etc. in NYC in warmer weather.
Edited to correct my abysmal spelling. Did I spell that right?
