Can this coil zipper be repaired by hand sewing and re-attached to the zipper tape? This is roughly a 56" zipper on a custom leather guitar gig-bag. Replacing the entire zipper is the only solution offered so far after two inquiries. I don't know if replacing a zipper on this uncommon product requires specialized equipment. The original maker lives in Texas and returning it to him for repairing is not practical. I'm hoping to keep it simple and learn that, yes, it can be repaired by hand. If it turns out that it cannot, I'll try to find a place that can replace the zipper. Any recommendations for a shop in the Seattle / Kitsap / Puget Sound region would be welcome. Thank you.

I inherited these two potted plants last month. Rainfall will naturally be minimal until the fall. What kind of watering and care will each require? Thanks in advance for your advice.
