This tip is regarding storage for rulers. I use a plastic magazine holder.
All the rulers I use most often fit in it as well as some "to do" project ideas.

Here's a video on it, she's using a small piece of fabric but the idea is the same, once you see it, you'll remember how. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqXgL...DVt_iTL9W-c4nF

I added a couple of ideas. When I posted there, it said my post would wait until approved by you or by moderators. That was easy.

Here's a tip I just learned "after" spackling my sewing room...no problemo,...I still have four other rooms to do:
You put the spackle between the drywall, that is now on the wall with the long side going sideways for added strength.
Then you put the yellow drywall tape over the seam and take a finely grained, wet sponge and "smooth" out the spackling or some call it "mud",...smooth out to nothingness on the edges, so the amount to sand after it is completely dry has been reduced tremendously!
A friend gave me this tip. It is how professional drywallers get such good looking results before painting.
Don't worry about the drywall/sheetrock getting a bit wet. It will dry.
Sorry I didn't know before we painted my sewing room, but at least the rest of the house will look smoooth

Default Re: Alterations

My profession is Alterations. I love it and I sew every day. Something happened this week and I want to know what my fellow seamstresses think. A client (and mom ) had a prom dress fitting. Next day mom calls and tells me she found someone who can do the hemming,etc for $30. Prom dress-6 layers! I had guesstimated$60. 3 hrs including 1 hr fitting. Dad picked up the dress and paid for the fitting . But they expected the layers to be pinned. Was I wrong to have taken my pins out? I dont think so.
