Zipper from the duvet cover broken? Sew on the Velcro tape

Recently, the zipper on the pillowcase of my youngest favorite bedding broke. What now? I can not throw it away, do not go shopping either, I can not sew a new zipper, bring it to the seamstress, so that she sews a new zipper, I did not want to. Well, good advice is expensive.

Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! The idea came to me when cleaning up the shoes - KLETTBAND! Fast needle and thread brought, Velcro sewn - fits, wobbles and has air! All right again: the daughter is satisfied, because the Snoopy relation is healed again, I am satisfied, because the cover can be washed as well as before, and the purse was not unnecessarily burdened (the tailor requires 5 euros and the price for the zipper, 80 cm long zippers are not cheap!). Of course, that's no solution forever, but until the kid overcomes Snoopy's predilection, I can live with it!
