Also...if you were riding your horse to town, and if his shoe fell off, and if you had a zip...you could zip it back on. If you had a needle and thread...or a sewing machine with a zipper foot.

Hello Jenno, same goes to you for a great start to the new year. I do feel sorry for you having to work full time though, very tiring. Take care.

Skippie those cushion covers are polyester !!

shell156 - 2012-12-30 19:22:00

Shell I will have to do some googling as the dyes that I have are for natural fibres. I think spotlight has dyes for manmade fibres. I will have to check.

skippie1 - 2012-12-30 19:42:00

Has Twi arrived safely Coalie?

And some history of the zipper!

1851-1917: The zipper is in its beginning form from early designs, military use and approval for
patents. Early zippers are metal and have individual locking teeth unlike todays modern plastic
coil zippers.
1923: The term zipper is coined due to the sound they make when fastened shut. Used mainly on
rubber boots and goulashes by B.F. Goodwrench and tobacco pouches.
1920s: Zippers are starting to be used in mens trousers, but RARELY in women's clothing.
Zippers were considered too fast and easy to get off making them vulgar for women to wear.
However they became increasingly popular in children's clothing due to their easy use.
1930s: Zippers are now common in children's clothing. In the late 30s, campaigns for women's
designer gowns featured the "infamous zipper" . Most zippers from this age and earlier are
hidden behind a fold or "flap" of fabric to conceal the vulgar style.

coalrange1 - 2012-12-30 20:33:00

Ooh twi...I want to learn that too as well also and . I should be there too. Oh well....next time eh? Isn't that rug coalie is crocheting gorgeous? Can you do the flowers yet? Lucky you.
We have been out with the animals...and I have mowed the lawns too. We have broken into the family home because they inadvertently took the keys with them. Gs explained to me over the phone how to break in...and it was easy as pie. If I could zip my own gob shut for long enough I might be able to make a living from burglary! Hmmmmm....

jumbobon - 2012-12-30 21:48:00

Good morning all - last day of 2012. Every year I hope the next will be great. I've come to the conclusion it is all down to me and my attitude and learning to appreciate what I do have.

Definitely got to finish my UFOs as there are some deadlines.

See you next year everyone!
