When I finally got it to start zipping, I took a needle and thread and locked the base with approximately 20,000 stitches, all individually tied off. That was when I realized I'd sewed the zipper on backwards. So I cut out all the threads and started again. Success, finally.

This isn't in the rant thread, only because I can always use another lesson in patience.

My wife now says she has a pair of pants I can sew. She's so cute. She thinks I might actually be that nice.
My youngest son had a homework a few months ago that involved a little bit of sewing. Myself, Mrs B and both sons tried for almost an hour to just thread a needle, with no success

We ended up sending a note to school!
