More Ways to Save Money
Dear Readers: Who isn't trying to SAVE MONEY these days? To help stretch your clothing dollar, here are three easy hints to help you:
Stop button threads from fraying by dabbing the top of the button with a little clear nail polish, letting it dry and trimming loose threads.
Fix a fallen hem with masking tape, duct tape, safety pins or adhesive bandage. If you have a sewing kit and pre-threaded needles handy, use a whipstitch, knotting every third stitch to keep the hem up.
Snags on sweaters should never be pulled or cut. Use the top of a closed pen or something similar to "push" the snag back through to the inside of the sweater. Knot the snag and secure with a small dab of clear nail polish.
