The zipper on my bag stopped working about a year ago. I had been trying to use it anyway but things kept falling out. I recently learned that hand stitching isn't that hard, so I went out and got a new zipper. Here's the old zipper for reference

Nice hand stitching! Mine never look that neat. I'm tempted to try this on one of my bags with a broken zipper. What kind/weight of thread did you use?
