Zip It Up

Ghee's - pink zipper bracelet

Zippers have a bad rap as being difficult to work with; however, they are simple to insert when stitched correctly with the proper feet.

Even in the fashion industry, fast fashion – otherwise known as inexpensive clothing made quickly and, typically, with lower quality – has become the norm.
