saving the osprey - 2022-12-29

tags: sew

i have a ultra lightweight osprey backpack: might be very useful except the zips open by themselves and then stuff falls out!

today i sewed the zips so that these can't open past the top of the backpack. one side i did with a button foot, the other with a wide zig-zag. the zig zag was the better of the two.

so now i can use the osprey backpack again without leaving a trail of stuff.

if you need to do it:

zig zag stich

width wider than the zip teeth

short stich length

:-)
