Zip problems.

What do people do to help with fastening zips? Those small metal tabs can be tricky to use.

I don't think I could as a stranger to help me zip or button my pants! I'd do the velcro first! At home I either use pliers or ask my husband for help! I have put velcro on a lot of my clothes! No one ever knows the difference! great invention!

Blessings,

small, discrete keyrings through the hole on the tab work well for enough extra grip. Packs of or 10 from the £1 store (Dollar store for you folks over the pond). If there is no hole in the tab, raid his workshop for a small drill. don't forget to file down any rough edges if you do drill.

All good suggestions! Pants are not usually my problem, but I have caught myself going about unzipped. Jackets and coats are the worst. I usually don't bother if they also have buttons.
