turn old clothes into new totes and purses

Okay here goes turn an old tee shirt into a tote bag. Step 1 wash shirt . Step 2 cut sleeves off to make a tank top shape and cut a V shape about 3" down from the collar on both sides. Step 3 turn inside out and sew bottom shut then add seems to sleeves if needed. Step 4 turn rightside out and use. Now make a purse out of blue jeans. Step 1 wash. Step 2 fold in half so both legs are even and cut above straddle so bottom is open( save at least one leg youll need it). Step3 turn inside out and sew bottom shut. Now for that leg cut 3 1/2" strips as long as you want your strap. Braid the 3 strips together glue the ends w/ fabric glue and sew on the purse now turned back right side out. Have fun and good luck.

Allergens

7 things you can doo to loose the allergens. 1 dust regularly ( house hold dust is a mix of skin particles, animal dander, insect allergens ,fabric fibers , and mold spores. ) 2 Stuffed animals and cloth dolls are a haven for dust mites so toss them regularly in the dryer on a low heat cycle.3 Ok next is the prevention of mold spores so keep it dry in other words you need to fix leaky pipes and faucets, wipe up standing water, amd consider a dehumidifier for places like the basement. 4 cloth is a #1 spot for dust mites soo keep clothse clean and wash bedding at least once a week .5 wash indoor pets once a week and brush them good every day.6 vacumm carpets and rugs every day and shampoo them as often possible. 7heavy draperies and venetian blinds collect and hold dust so use shades or washable curtains instead
DID YOU KNOW??? An average matress can house up to 10 millon dust mites. 10 millon americans are allergic to cats. 1 human breaths in enough air a day to fill 175 auto tires. And a dust mite lives 30 days it can give birth to up to 30 new ones in that time.
