Metal zippers

[Lady Day]

One of my gripes about old metal zippers is that many of them don't have the "end" of the zipper.

When you purchase a new vintage item, be sure to check the bottom of the zipper to see if it has an end to stop the zipping mechanism. If not, just quick stich a couple threads to stop the zipper from getting off track.

Now if I can only remember to do that myself...

You can just loop stitch the bottom and create a stop that way.
