How to darn dress socks     (yewtu.be)

submitted by NeedleStack to Sewing 1.2 years ago

This looks to be a good solution for mending thin socks.

For heavier hand knit socks, use a method like this:

If you don't want to buy a darning egg you can use a light bulb for the same results.

How to make homemade liquid laundry detergent on a budget with Zote soap.     (yewtu.be)

submitted by NeedleStack to TraditionalWives 1.2 years ago

12 comments

Affordable method for making your own laundry detergent. The comment about making a powdered version is excellent but the lady who wrote it doesn't know about paragraphs so read at your own discretion. :)

The same commenter does say if you go with the liquid version the woman in the video demonstrates, use less water for a cleaner and better-smelling wash.

Tips regarding 'loud' appliances and foot comfort     (TraditionalWives)

submitted by NeedleStack to TraditionalWives 1.2 years ago

55 comments

On the rare occasions I run the (very loud) dishwasher, I pair the task with vacuuming at the same time so that I'm doing two loud tasks at once to get them over with. I put in foam ear plugs while I do this to minimize the annoyance.

I don't recommend blaring music in headphones to combat the noise because you'll definitely create long-term ear damage.

There have been times when I've started the dishwasher as I'm heading out the door to run errands but this is risky because you ought to be home in case there's a leak or problem where you'll need to stop the machine before things get worse. I know this isn't a common issue but you never know!

About foot comfort: I have a pair of sneakers I wear indoors only for housework. It's made a world of difference because my feet are way less aggravated by the end of my chores than if I were barefoot or in socks. Sneakers are so cheap in thrift stores now, you could pick up a comfy pair just for the home. Remember to treat yourself to cushy socks as well (and perhaps gel inserts) to help you last longer on your feet.

Chime in if you have similar tips!

No-sew way to feminize a crew neck t shirt     (www.byambershands.com)

Why is this project in sewing if it's "no-sew"? To mix things up I guess! Enjoy.

I like how the modification is demure and not slutty as some bloggers would have you do. The blogger seems to be a classy lady which is refreshing.

I wanted to shop for a belt Made in the USA and found this contender until I noticed the text at the bottom:
