6. chain width
7. bottom stop
8. bottom tape extension
9. single tape width

Did you know this??? I found this fascinating!!!

For todays challenge..... I have picked a number.....

I need you to go into your clothes closet, and count the number of zippers there are in your closet... just your clothes closet.. not the front hall closet or anything like that!!!

You will have until tonight at midnight to let me know how many you have!!!
You can just tell me here.. no need to pm!!

Now get counting!

So that means DH's clothes as well as mine since they are in the same closet

No way did I know there were that many parts to a zipper, learned something new today, thanks Helen

Glad you learnt something.. it isn't a wasted day!

If DH clothes are in the same closet as yours, count those too!!

34 thanks to DHs pants.

That is a lot of zippers Linda! LOL!!

I have 14 in my closet!!

Would you believe? I have 50 zippers in my closet-mine alone. Guess it's because I haven't given away any of my non fit clothes LOL.This means clean,clean now too many pants that don't fit the style nor the person!

Only 11 for me

I'm not much of a zipper person... There's only about 7 in my closet...

There are 66 in my closet

51 for me. I've got a lot of clothes that need to be put away in my closet too.

Wowsers ladies!! That is a LOT of zippers!!

17 thanks to the scrap widow's work pants & work tops...only maybe 8 were mine lol

Not nearly as many as you girls! I have a closet all to myself and about the only zipper things in there are my hoodies... I'd say about 10.

Can I do our coat room? I promise you it would be a big number! LOL! I'm afraid I didn't see this until I put Brianna to bed... her nursery is also our closet!

LOL Jessica! You can do this tomorrow am! No sweat!!!

I only found 36 in my closet.

Between Brianna, my Dh and myself our closet only has 11 zippers!

Only 2 in mine at the moment. Most of my clothes are in the laundry right now.

Man what do you ladies all wear, no zippers

Maternity pants at the moment! Not many zippers in those, LOL! Plus, DH really needs some new jeans.
