Q:i had heard online and from friends that forever 21 cloths shrink allot and to get a medium since i‘m a small. but o got a loose fitting shirt so i got it in small because the small was already very big. but when i got home i realized that i like it this big and don‘t want it to shrink anymore. the shirt is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, do you think it will shrink allot??/thanks :)

To keep the shirt from shrinking, allow it to be in the dryer just a minute or two, remove it and lay it flat on the top side of a vacant bed to finish drying. Pat it out nicely so that it dries wrinkle free.

Q:Expenses are tight this year so for my niece and nephew Im going to make gifts for them using socks, buttons, and whatever else I can find to make Sock Creatures. Now when I mean tight I mean I really can‘t afford to go get craft stuffing!! (Okay I could but would rather not) I have two HUGE bags of old clothes destined for crafts/salvation army to work with. (I am HAND SEWING all of this!) My question is what can I use to stuff them? Has to be able to be washed and retain shape, I like to reuse old stuff around the house so keep in mind Im NOT going to the store for anything, :)Thanks to all-cheapskate :)

Old pillow stuffing. Pull it out and fluff it up. Shredded clothing. If you have old polyester fleece clothing, that would be ideal. Shredded synthetic sweaters would work as well. Stay away from hard cloth, and stuff that is all cotton, as it will pack down. You could use some fluffy cotton, such as sweatshirt material, in your mix, but I would add something poly just to keep it from getting too squished.

Q:I noticed that every practitioner has patches of their academy as well as possible sponsors, or companies/affiliations they want to affiliate themselves with. My first competition is in December and I‘d like to show my my school (Go Rams! 8-0). However I don‘t want my patch to be embroidered. The patch itself cannot have borders and needs to be flat. I guess it needs to be printed on a rough canvas material to stitch onto my gi?I‘ve browsed websites but most require bulk orders and aren‘t exactly what I‘m looking for. Is there anyway I can get a personalized patch for myself in the NYC area?

It's a great school. My friends and I got in their and I know some people going there now. It has two campuses, one in Lincoln Center, Manhattan and then there's the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx. If your looking for more of the campus feel you'll probably end up at the Rose Hill campus. The neighborhood isn't the best, but it's right next to the NY Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo. The school has an excellent reputation amongst those around the nation. A lot of businesses in NY hire Fordham grads. It also has a great law school if you are interested in that and takes a lot of its law students from it's undergrad programs.

Hi, I am a stitching desktop tech and will inform you those aren't very well machines. tons of issues. I consider this desktop mannequin has rubber feeddogs, the facet that movements the material below the needle. The rubber can have worn down through the years and possibly the material is not relocating because it must. Other than that it will possibly handiest be an higher anxiety quandary. Are you certain you had the lever within the up function while you threaded it? Otherwise the thread won't have long gone by way of the anxiety discs. Again those Touch and Sew Singers are infamous for establishing issues that does not lead them to valued at solving in lots of circumstances. If the feeddogs are worn they may be able to get replaced if one wishes to spend the money. Otherwise uncover an older Singer.

Bravo -- fabric is the thanks to flow. My little ones were allergic to disposable diapers and that i had no selection yet to flow with fabric diapers. I basically used those that were on the marketplace on the time and folded them for added useful absorbency. decrease back interior the day, i did not use any particular detergents, yet I did wash them two times, in warm water and positioned them through an additional rinse cycle. the first wash turned right into a good soak, the 2d wash to get them sparkling, and the added rinse to make certain all residue became lengthy gone. even as the elements licensed, i'd dangle them on the garments line. That appeared to lead them to a lot extra absorbent. I also under no circumstances used fabrics softener -- which will ward off the diapers from being absorbent. i need to grant you with a caution though, purchase (or make) two times as many as you imagine you'll choose -- even per chance triple it to be on the risk-free area. even as my daughter became searching ahead to her first newborn, I did some analyze into fabric diapers -- i became so afraid that he might want to be allergic like his mom became as a baby. fortunately, he's not -- yet i became surprised to locate each and every of the impressive products accessible for moms who pick fabric. There are diaper inserts that help pull the urine thoroughly far flung from the exterior, and they are washer-friendly and reusable. All organic, too. earlier after I used fabric with my toddlers, I nonetheless used disposables for journeys and such. chanced on out quickly adequate how a lot hardship fabric diapers are to apply even as far flung from homestead. you'll celebrate with fabric diapers -- I consider you that they are extra useful for toddler's epidermis. they are extra artwork and attempt, yet worth it interior the destiny.

Q:Our class have conducted an experiment for our Chemistry subject. In that experiment, there are two main materials in used, Sodium Chloride and Silver Nitrate.It does warn that we should be extra careful when handling the Silver Nitrate as it will left dark stain on cloths and skin. So i done the experiment with an extra careful. However i still manage to get the dark stain on my skin and also cloths.Is there anyway I can get rid of it?

The silver on your skin will come off in time as your own skin is shed. If you are embarrassed at the way it makes your skin look, get a nail file or emery board and *gently* scratch it off the surface of your skin. Your clothes are pretty much ruined, although it depends on the type of fabric. Fibres like polyester, nylon etc will be wrecked.

Q:There was a little nail polish remover on the floor, and I mopped it up with a paper towel. After I threw the cloth away, I touched my shirt twice. It is 28% polyester and 72% cotton. I spent lots on this hoodie and I really don‘t want it to be ruined. Will it stain? It‘s royal purple. :/ I‘m so worried

It's probably fine. Put it in the washer (without anything else in there) that should do it! I know how you feel. I used to freak over that stuff too! (:

Q:I am trying to get out of buying real cloth tablecloths for my reception because they are too expensive. I don‘t want plastic because it looks tacky and cheap, but I don‘t want to pay for the regular cloth ones. I‘ve seen like linen ones that are disposable, which are reasonably cheaper than real ones, and I‘ve seen polyester, which I have no idea if that would be okay or not? I wouldn‘t mind the like linen, since it‘s disposable and less maintenance, but if the polyester is not tacky and okay for it I would be okay with those, too. I guess I would just choose whichever one is cheapest. I need opinions on which type of material is best and sites to find the cheapest ones.
