Mary's Hint from this month's BOM

Cleaning Towel

Cut a roll of paper towels in half with a serrated knife.
Mix together:
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
1 teaspoon dish detergent
Optional:  8-10 drops essential citrus oil


Cut two crosswise slots in the center top of a plastic 3 pound coffee container.  Put half of the paper towel roll into the container, rough cut side down.  Pour the liquid over the center tube and around the roll.  After a minute, remove the saturated center cardboard tube of the paper towel roll and throw away.  Pull up a section of the paper towel from the center and poke it through the hole in the top of the cover.  Snap the cover on and you're ready to clean up.

SERGER CLASS

Thursday, June 16 - 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

 The project will be a pillow.  Cost of the class is $25.  You can purchase a kit for the pillow for $11. If you would like to buy the kit, please let them know at Vacuum and Sewing prior to the class.  The stuffing and batting for a pillow form is not included, but I will give directions on how to make the form.  (It's really easy).  If you want to make the form that day, bring a half yard of batting and some stuffing to class.

If you plan to use your own fabric it will take a yard of fabric for the pillow front sides and back, a piece 12x20 for the center, a 2 1/2 inch strip width of fabric for the ruffle and a 2 inch strip of contrast for the cording.  You will also need decorative thread that coordinates  or contrasts with your fabric for the rolled hemming.  Pearl Crown Rayon works well, as does Sulky Blendables, 12 weight.  If you have questions, please e-mail me or call me at 320-965-2767.


Hope to see you at class.
