    My mother refuses to even entertain the idea of fixing my zips and she says it an absolute pain and not worth the trouble. She is a seasoned sewer too so I’m going to continue to take her word for it.

    I guess if the item is valuable enough and of high quality it may be worth taking to a professional and paying the premium.

      I’m not sure if prices have changed but there are some fairly affordable repair services if you found something quite good.

      Not even a tailor, just basic stuff like shortening pants and replacing zips. There used to be one in Melbourne Central.

        In my town the professional tailor has a monopoly. I would have to find a hobbyist or small home shop.
