I did one like that for my son but I didn't cut off the old teeth. That worked very well and I didn't need to worry of the old tape would fray. It was done on a heavy jacket so the old teeth were quite un-noticeable when it was finished.

I admire OnebyOne's restraint in not saying to him: "Why not buy Yourself a sewing machine?" LOL!

I guess I'm too old school. LOL I would have loved my DH surprising me with a sewing machine back in the day.

But will she use it to do mending. I'd rather make a new outfit than mend. My sister has tried to learn to sew twice and finally gave up. its just not her thing.
