I have already blogged about this book before but there are little tips with different sewing projects. I believe that these tips can be easily found on the internet.
All-Purpose Spray
She gives a recipe for about a half gallon mixture but I make small batches in use in a 24 oz spray bottle.
Here is my recipe
2 cups water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Then I add 20 drops of lavender oil for a lovely scent
Decoupage Glue
Equal parts of white glue and water. Add more glue or water as needed to create a smooth, paintlike consistency.
Recycling
need to know where to recycle something go to Earth911.com
Ironing Starch
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 pint of water
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
Dissolve the cornstarch in water. Put the solution inside a spray bottle and shake it throughly before using.

My grandmother used to make her own starch for ironing (a throwback to when she had no choice to buy it) and just put it in a mixing bowl and sprinkled it with her fingers. I learned to iron from her.
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever iron but when I do I will be using this.
ReplyDeleteawesome, thanks for sharing, I'm trying to get into making more things at home, ecofriendly, and the recycling link will definitely come in handy :)
ReplyDeleteNot a problem. I know for me it is hard to find locations of recycling because we live so far out.
