for comic relief, see the movie "saved". it cleansed the palate, and made me say "ouch" many times (yes, i am a follower of christ-- a "recovering hyperchristian" as my cousin puts it...) Circe wrote in...

Depends on the garment.... If it's a dress or a top with just a neck facing. A bound neckline is nice. It's a strip of the same fabric cut on the bias and sewn on like bias tape. The same could be applied to a jacket or vest too. You could even take a strip of the fabric bias, sew it around the...

I sew patches onto leathers, anyone else do this? Cindy

It really does not matter what type of lure a person uses, without the right bass fishing techniques it will simply end up as a practice session for casting. Jigs, spinners and crank baits have all be successful in pulling in trophy bass, but there are many times when two anglers, using the same...

I'm looking for a source for thick felt I can use to make covers -- or perhaps cozies -- for personal electronics like digital cameras and laptops. I think the ideal thickness range is 3/16" - 3/8". All I have been able to locate on the web are industrial felts, which are thick but none too...

I was watching an "X-treme Makeovers" rerun last night, and I saw a stylist advising a guy to have his tie-dyed T-shirts tailored. I'd never considered this possibility, but now that it's in my head... I wear a lot of T-shirts (very few button-up shirts). I'm willing to invest the time and...

Is the old aerosol cans of Scotchguard not used any more because it was not environmentally friendly? How can I make my covers stain resistant? Any suggestions please? Thank you Jan

Hello! I am having difficulty with a home-decorating project that I started. I purchased 100% cotton drapes from IKEA. Because they are too casual for my needs, I thought that it would be fairly simple to turn these inexpensive tab-top curtains into custom window treatments by adding a lining and...
