Homemade Hats for Handsome Heads
It warms my heart to be able to warm the heads of those closest to me. I love knitting hats. Whether they are baby-sized (who even makes circle needles that small!) or large enough to fit my brother’s melon of a noggin, I make them in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

Make Sewing Patterns
There are several patterns making systems that will ensure that making sewing patterns becomes very easy for you. There have undoubtedly been several cases when you may have liked an outfit. However, its neckline or design is a bit too uncomfortable for you, or maybe you had to forget about it because of its sleeve length. These are problems that we all face when we go shopping for clothes.

The Sewing Machine
A howl rose up behind me and I turned to see the scissors standing upright in my sister’s foot. Don’t know how it happened. I was nowhere near her, and I didn’t know it then, but that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

How To Tie a Tie
The tie is tied so it stays tight, but the knot must be symmetrical in both directions. Pull one end of the tie in, lean the tie against a piece of felt or paper or a pen and observe how you can make a perfect knot without a pattern. Fold both of the fabric sides in toward the center. Make one side tighter than the other and fold them in to the center with the small side closest to the knot getting longer. Take the first bit of the tie you folded up and slide it under the center to make it snug to the knot. Remove the paper if it falls to one side. Attach the ends with a very small finish knot or a double knot if it needs it.

Clean Clothes, But Nowhere to Put Them
iron on vinyl How about we talk clothing. All the more explicitly, the pantry. Is yours efficient? Does it need space? Are your clothing items put away close enough to permit you to do clothing rapidly and productively? On the off chance that you addressed "no" to any of these inquiries, it's an ideal opportunity to get coordinated. Consider a portion of these sharp for your pantry.

Thrift Meisters!
Technology has changed how we purchase groceries, buy gifts, even how we cop new threads. Along with this surge has come a major drift to people mainly doing online thrift shopping. My standpoint is simple. The best thrifting is done person to person or store to customer. If you live in a city as do I then in person thrifting is at your fingertips. For those of you in more isolated areas you may find a decent number of in person steals through garage sales or local farmers market. Now even though I stand mostly opposed to online thrifting you can find the items you want online. I thrift more closely to antique’s road show, meaning that I never really know what I am looking for until I find it. Fashion thrifting is more magical that way. Also the people running these online site’s set their prices as if they have all studied fashion, owning every Vogue magazine since their founding 128 years ago. Meaning they know what brands are trending, vintage, and even what looks are in, while the older woman that prices tags at Value Village will simply sell that mildly scuffed Luis Vition Bag for 12.99. This is the magnitude of finds you see. The one area of online thrifting I see no harm in is electronics, but even with that I go refurbished because you can get a warrantee for that. All that I am saying is a little homework goes a long way but running into a thrift store and catching an insane steal is like a shot of adrenaline. Join me as I break down how I come across crazy finds, not far from where I live.

How to Get to Thrifting Level: Mastery
I was introduced to thrifting when I moved to the city, and like most other newly found hobbies in my life, I became incredibly focused on the best ways to achieve the greatest results. Somehow this led me to such fantastic luck in finding pieces that were not only in my size, but usually of good quality! Thrifting was part of my regular routine, it was a great way to get clothes that suited me while still staying in my budgeting abilities as I was a student when I started. I began to realize the rarity of these items to their locations, and how many limitations prevented people from shopping at thrift stores, be it a lack of accessibility, or time constraints. It was for these reasons that I started my own online thrifting business. But I’m not one to keep all the thrifting secrets to myself, so if you are excited by the prospect of thrifting your wardrobe and creating an aesthetic that is uniquely you, more sustainable than fast fashion outlets, and more financially accessible, here are some things I’ve learned.

The Thrifted Jacket of Dreams
We all have that one item of clothing we always reach for regardless of the occasion. It could be a pair of jeans that seem to have been sewn just for your body; or that pair of shoes that just go with anything; or a trusty shirt that you nailed all of your most important interviews in. It’s like a very special and close relationship it puts you at ease, complements you, supports you in any decision you would take that day. Just like cartoon characters are always drawn in the same outfit, you would be dawn wearing this item. It is the red shorts for Mickey Mouse, the white shirt for Homer Simpson, the sparkly red dress for Jessica Rabbit. The garment is part of the character.

My Most Beloved Thrift Finds
If there's one thing I love, it's shopping at charity shops. Here in the UK, we don't have 'thrift stores'. Instead, we have charity shops, which are basically the exact same thing just renamed. Plus wherever you shop, that money spent goes towards the charity you spent it in (Cancer Research, Mind, RSPCA, etc)

Buy to Dye
I have a business card with the name, Dyeing Heidi, on it. That’s me, or it was, back when I dyed on a daily basis. I thought it was funny to tell people that I was going to dye in the upcoming days. Today, it seems a little morbid. As time goes by, I find that my life overlaps more and more with those who experience dying in the true sense, so who am I to make light of death?

Picture This
In 1991 a co-worker who usually wore jeans showed up on her day off in a pretty rose colored two piece skirt and jacket. She was heading to her mother in law’s funeral and stopped by to pick up her check. When I commented on how nice she looked so told me she had purchased the outfit just for the funeral and had bought it at Goodwill. I went to the store she recommended and was amazed. I saw on the wall two matching dresses that looked to be in the size for my daughter and myself. These are the dresses in the cover photo. They obviously had been for a wedding but we wore them on Easter Sunday to church. We also wore them later in a fashion show.
