Zippers; Pockets; Holes
The first series I’m doing on my new YouTube Channel focuses on the repairs and alterations related to zippers, pockets and holes. I’m basically showing you exactly how to do the repairs I offer on my Services page. I love sewing, but I want you to be able to: Either, have a better idea of what I am doing when I work on your gear. Or, I want to give you a demonstration to inspire you to fix your own gear. So, all my videos will be filled with tips and tricks to make the projects more successful. I’m Focusing on Zippers, Pockets, and Holes in this first series. Eventually, I hope to add additional series of videos that focus on other topics like sustainability, up-cycling, and laundry. Let me know what you want to see.
Please note, I am actively building this page and the YouTube Channel. Once I get a video uploaded I will publish it here first. Right now the Channel is “Unpublished” on YouTube, meaning you can view the videos with the link, but can’t search YouTube for them yet. Once I get more content then I will make the channel “Public” and searchable. I would be grateful for feedback to help me improve my content.
