Question
Can you give me tips on replacing winter coat/ ski jacket zippers along with backpack zippers? Also, any ideas on where to get unusual zippers? I live in a small town and do not have access to big stores.
Dear Stithcin' Girl,
The following site has a multitude of different zippers.

Expertise
I can answer general sewing questions as well as tailoring, heirloom, menswear, children's wear, craft sewing, quilting and just about any fabric or notion. I can also help with some sewing machine repair and maintenance.
Experience
I started sewing at the age of 3...thanks to my mom and grandmother, and I am now in my fifties. Home economics classes in junior high and high school helped me to finesse my skills.
Education/Credentials
Palmer and Plesch tailoring class
Basically, self-taught...give me the instructions and I will figure it out and then make it better!
Awards and Honors
A few blue ribbons at fairs along the way
