Jeans (and jeans-like trousers) with buttons are so much more stylish than ones with zippers, right?
Yes I do hate sewing zippers, why do you ask? :D

Sì, odio cucire le cerniere, si nota? :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •Do you find it more difficult or just tedious?
Genuinely curious. (Fedi is my connection to other crafters) I've only done zippers for easy pouches. They are a bit tedious and usually at least a bit difficult to get just looking nice, machine or hand sewing. But I do feel accomplished afterwards.
Buttons, I actually avoid like the plague. I'm not entirely sure why. They just seem tedious to me and I'm almost never in the mood for sewing them on.

in reply to zephyr • •@zephyr on garments and other complex objects I find them difficult to do right and precisely. sewing them by hand helps with the precision, but sewing through the zipper tape is often hard.
Buttons and buttonholes, OTOH, are just a bit tedious.
Also, adding a zipper in the nice way usually means that it's embedded in the garment in a way that requires unmaking a significant amount of it when (not if) the zipper breaks, while buttons tend to either last more, or be easier to fix.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •That makes a lot of sense. I recently replaced the zipper on a bag that was holding makeup. It was hard to get it neat, but it still went ok.
I've been trying different approaches with hand knitted pouches too. Still figuring out how much I feel like adding linings.
