Just wondering if anyone had some zippers that they would like to get rid of/sell? I am looking for 11"-12" or so in particular, but am open to other lengths as well. Would like new or like new condition. Thanks! |

I don't have any but often www.wazoodle.com will have grab bags of zippers on sale, they are good zippers but sometimes the colours are unusual!

www.homesew.com also offers great grab bags, including a zipper assortment. and check to see if your regional Salvation Army has a fabric sale. Our does, and it includes notions, books, other craft items...oh man, it's coming up in about 6 weeks and I'm so excited! Anyway, you can usually find great deals on assorted zippers and whatnot there as well... |

Hi st13031, It's really funny, I was cleaning out my zipper drawer today and realized that I had stockpiled some zippers that I have no use for. Give me some idea of colors, invisible or seperating and I'll see if I have them. You're more than welcome to them. Debbie |

Wow, Debbie, don't usually keep too many seperating zippers on hand but I keep stacks of various sized garment zippers on hand and often buy 22 inch dress zippers during sales (can cut them down) so that I don't have to truck to the store when I sew. I keep them in a drawer with rubber bands around each color set. I'm surprised that you would give away your stash since they have saved me many a trip.

Well Pam, there's a story with these zippers...There was a Jantzen manufacturing facility about 15 miles from here and when they closed down, they had "grab bags" of notions. A large paper grocery bag was crammed full and stapled together at the top. When I say crammed, I mean it was all they could do to staple it together. No foldovers on the top, just stapled. There must have been 200 zippers in the bag. This was about 5 years ago and I have use many of them and shared with a few friends that are seamstresses. I Have gotten to where I use the invisible zippers on a roll and make my own for most of the things that I do. I do have a few others squirreled away. I completely understand about keeping things on hand, it has saved me many trips out to buy a button, spool of thread, hook and eye, etc. Debbie |

I am assuming that since you haven't responded to my post, you aren't interested in any of the zippers. I will just add them to the items that I am taking to our local Goodwill store. Debbie |
