Subject: Fashion Zipper Contest Challenge - Ends Nov. 15 Date: 10/29/12 3:40 PM I saw the new C&C zippers the last time I was at Hancock's, and they looked quite nice. I'm heading back to the store tomorrow, and I'd like to know whether C&C's new water resistant zipperwith the satin tape counts as one of the zippers we can use for the contest.

Subject: Fashion Zipper Contest Challenge - Ends Nov. 15 Date: 10/29/12 7:29 PM Thanks, Deepika. Do the zippers need to be Coats & Clark zippers, or can they be any brand? ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

Subject: Fashion Zipper Contest Challenge - Ends Nov. 15 Date: 10/30/12 1:20 PM Can it be something I recently sewed with an exposed zipper, or does it need to be sewn between now and the deadline? |
