Easter monday, weather was not good, so i decided to practice with sewing. This time i made a zippered coin pouch.
Using fabric from an old t-shirt. Any suggestion/advice on how to improve?

Yesterday I replaced a zipper in my SO's backpack. I salvaged the zipper from an old footrest thingy that has given up. I could sew most of it with the machine but had to handsewn towards the ends. It's not pretty on the inside but it's looking almost normal on the outside and is fully functional. Much better than having to buy an entirely new backpack!

But I think the common foot & #zipper #pantyhose is way more practical...

Just in case you were unaware this is a thing...
The world's largest #zipper company, #YKK, made an #anime series, directed by #HiroyasuIshida (Rain Town, Fumiko no kokuhaku) and it's strangely well done, despite being about solving all the worlds problems with zippers.

Surely there's a noun or verb that describes when the pull of a #zipper gets caught in the lower seam of your pants and you can't fish it out without having to take your pants off. 
"Can you help me with my #zipper, Susan?" pleaded Zsazsa.
The Butter Angels had won an award & were getting ready to attend the ceremony.
"Sure," said Suzan. Zsazsa turned & Susan carefully slid the zipper all the way up.
"Help me too!" demanded Booboo.
"Okay," said Susan.
Booboo lifted her skirt.
"What are you doing?" asked Susan.
"My zipper is on my panties!" she said.
"Ew," said Susan, jerking her hand back. "Where did you even get those?"
"Has anyone seen my undies?" asked Ruhrow.
