Changing the closure to an old backpack

Hello greetings to all once again, this time I want to show you how I change a closure to a backpack already with several years of use, the backpack belongs to one of my best friends, he explained to me that he has been using this backpack for more than 5 years and that its main closure lost the strength to be able to close the zipper teeth and I thought that even the backpack can have a second chance.

To carry out our project, we had to look for a place where they would sell closures, preferably by the meter to be able to buy the exact measure, since when I measured it, it was 80 centimeters and therefore I could buy a whole meter because it is preferable that there be more than not.

The steps were very simple, the first thing was to unsew the old zipper since the same one, as I mentioned above, no longer worked, I very carefully unstitched it to then join the new one, he decided to join it first by hand basting it and then sew it with a sewing machine and in this way avoid errors at the time of sewing since the fabric I do not think it can withstand errors being so old.

Hola saludos a todos una vez mas, en esta ocasión les quiero mostrar como cambio un cierre a un morral ya con varios años de uso, el morral es de uno de mis mejores amigos, el me explico que lleva mas de 5 años usando este morral y que a su cierre principal perdió la fuerza para poder cerrar los dientes del cierre y pensó que aun el morral puede tener una segunda oportunidad.

Para llevar nuestro cometido debimos buscar un lugar donde vendieran cierre preferiblemente que lo vendieran por metro para poder comprar la medida exacta ya que cuando lo medí media 80 centimitos y por ello decidimos comprar un metro entero porque es preferible que sobre a que falte.

Los pasos fueron muy sencillos lo primero consistió en descoser el cierre antiguo ya que el mismo como lo mencione arriba ya no servía, con mucho cuidado lo descocí para luego unir el nuevo, decidí unirlo primero a mano basteando para luego cosera a maquina de coser y de esa forma evitar errores en el momento de la costura ya que la tela no creo que aguante errores al ser tan vieja.
