I’m still going through two sewing studios, organizing, decluttering and knowing what I have. Zippers are another thing on my list I don’t want to buy. I save all the zippers people gift me. Sometimes my zippers are not a perfect match and that is okay. I’m keeping stuff out of the landfills. Buttons are next up, five huge totes of them.
