clotheswise what do you stow away, give away, and why
Comments (6)For clothing we try to put one item away for donations per every new item bought. I usually give my nicer clothes to a divorced gal with kids down the road. She isnâÂÂt exactly poor but there is not much money left for her after bills and kids. SheâÂÂs great because she takes only what is needed and passes the rest on to others in need or makes a donation to her church. The gal usually leaves a note in my mail box stating where the rest went and a thank you. Due to my casual lifestyle my dressy clothes have little wear but do not wear well on my changing figure. I donâÂÂt want to keep them so long as to become outdated and where they are of no use to someone else. My husband donates his clothing to a few different charities or a particular individual. Sometimes we do a drop off at goodwill. A few times I left a big bundle out near the road with a sign that says âÂÂtake meâÂÂ. I do this on a day when there are several Guatemalan lawn maintenance people next door. There are always a few items I have a hard time letting go of though⦠but I must as I am moving. I will never sell clothes in a garage sale again; last time (several years ago) I was ripped off with a do you have a bag trick. I will give but you canâÂÂt take!...See MoreGiving away...getting easy with giving away!
Comments (3)I think my DH might be a hoarder because he keeps everything and continues buying and never has a desire to go through and clean out. I on the other hand don't hesitate to remove things I'm not using. He is letting me clean his closet and I've already removed 7 bags. There's so much stuff he has accumulated it will take time to sort it all out and reconfigure his whole closet but I'm very happy that he's letting me do this. This part of the house has been like a black hole to me and now I'm going in there to shine some light on it and cleaning is the greatest feeling and then I'm going to paint it, too....See MoreClick Bag Instrucrions
Comments (24)They are about 8” by 6”. I carry one in my purse with meds in it. A lot of people use them for make up. One of the best uses is for someone in the hospital or nursing home. It keeps small item from disappearing in the bedding, like chap stick, small pad of paper and pen. when my Mom was in them she had me bring her some so she could give them to nurses or other patients. Never got a No Thank You. oh yeah, great for travel too....See MoreClick bags.
Comments (33)Click Bags Supplies needed to make 2 bags: 2 fat quarters 18” x 21/22”, one a print, the other complimentary or solid. (many fat quarters are now 18” x 21’ and that will change the size of your bag and the cutting instructions.) One metal tape measure. I prefer ¾” wide ones. You can use 5/8” wide ones, just make your folds ¾” then 1”. Directions: Cut 18” x 22” fabrics to 9” x 22” (stack them to cut) Cut 4 ½” off the length for the tabs, now your fabrics will be 9” x 17 ½” and 9 ½” 4 ½”. Cut the 9” x 4 ½” to 4 ½” x 4 ½”, you now have 8 squares, 2 of lining and 2 of outside fabric. You will use the lining fabric for the tabs. Fold 2 squares for each bag into a triangle and press. Fold the triangles into half to make smaller triangles and press. You now have made your tabs. Fold purse pieces (9” x 17 ½”) in half, right sides together, sew ½” side seams. Make diagonal corners on lining and outer fabric pieces and stitch across about 1” from point. Turn outer fabric right side out. Tuck lining fabrics into outer fabric, wrong sides together, pin around the top. Fold over top edge to the outside, 3/4” and pin. Fold over top edge again, 1 1/8” and pin. Take 2 triangles (tabs) and tuck one on each side of purse (centered) and pin. This is when you need to have a drop arm on your sewing machine! Stitch around edge to make casing, leaving open about 1 ½” at one of the seams for inserting tape measure. At this point I sew down the one side seam to keep the 2 pieces of tape measure apart when inserted. Open your tape measure ALL THE WAY and using old, crappy scissors cut it away from the case. Cut one end of the tape rounded. Hold the tape up to the bag and see where you need to make the next cut for the length needed (you will need 2 pieces about 8” each for each bag). Cut other end of tape to rounded. Slide tape into casing. Do the same with the other side. Finish sewing the 1 ½” opening (the tape folds easily so you can do this), then sew up and down the last side seam to keep tape from shifting. Warning: when cutting the tape measure, you can get very tiny slivers of metal that are very sharp. Be careful not to get any on the floor. I cut mine while holding it down into a trash bag in a can! Have fun! Kathy G in MI...See More- 5 years ago
