I am running out of sewing supplies. Namely zippers. Especially invisible zippers. My lovely gray sheath project ground to a screeching halt yesterday after I realized I didn't have a 20" or 22" long gray invisible zipper. The only gray invisible zipper I have is 9" long - not even close to what I need. Yes, I realize they are supposed to be invisible and so the color shouldn't matter. It does to me. So tomorrow I'll have to go to Karstadt (department store) and hope they have them. I'm not interested in another "unversichtbar" experience so Karstadt it is and my husband will drive. He already promised. After that, I'm going to place a large order online for zippers of different lengths and different colors.
If it turns out that they don't have the right zipper at Karstadt, I'll just have to cut out another knit dress - the knits from Nancy's Notions are in, so I can make more dresses like the brown one. One of the knits is gray, which would work out really great as both the sewing machine and the serger are threaded with gray for the gray sheath. It all depends on what I find at Karstadt tomorrow. Either way, I'll have something to do.

I hate doing a project and then realizing I am missing 1 thing!
I don't know if they ship to Germany or not but if you want to stock up on different kinds of zippers give Vogue Fabrics a try...
they have a bundle deal... 50 zippers for $7! I got invisible zippers, separating, fancy, denim, 4 in to 24 in, black, red blue, etc...all in one bundle! a great assortment!
... but I thought your "unversichtbar" experience was funny ;)
