Repairing clothes

Finally, I bought my own sewing machine and I can start my sewing lab now, I am quite satisfied with the sewing machine as it worked fine to me, it managed to do anything that I want to do, that I am not regret to have it.

Actually, we depended a lot on tailor for repairing clothes for us, the most common part is to shorten a pant we bought which is longer than our waist height. However, we hardly to visit to a tailor shop, therefore lot of our pants are folded.

Today, I helped SL to repair his pant and adjusted to his waist height, I am happy with my job and SL was satisfied with the length, we both are happy. If we continue this practice and shorten pant by our self, we can get the sewing machine payback after done with 60 pants (I considered tailor would charges us RM10 per pant, but it might be varied).

Besides that, SL had a short with damaged zipper, which didn't get repaired for long time, I think about a year, and I finally bought a zipper myself yesterday at about a dollar, then I do it myself to replace the zipper with a functional one, and it works now as well.

Of course, this is my first time to do zipper replacement, therefore I pretty carefully observe the sewing structure when doing removing and arranged some steps to get it done. At the first time, I got the zipper attached on its location, but the completed product still looked strange to me.

After bed, I flung my mistake as I sewn the cover at the back of zipper while it should be on top of it to make it invisible. Thereafter, I repaired it to it should be and now the pant looks perfect, I am pretty proud with this as I think pant's zipper is one of tough project to complete, as it need to consider appearance at final product.

Here I got another with damaged zipper as well but am still looking for a 3 inches zipper for it, I wish that I can repair it soon.

I am not sure how much this would charge when goes to tailor, but I think my sewing machine sure worth the price finally, as it can do more than that and even can sew a cloth.
