The Imaginative Seamstress

I know its not my usual to give tips and advice, or how to's.. but in this case I am definitely making an exception!!   Have you ever tried to get a label off of a jar, or some other object? Tried soaking it in water and soap? Scraping and scrubbing at it maybe? I know I have! I was introduced to this Peanut Butter Peeling trick about a year ago. I have to say that it works great!! All you need to do is cover the sticker/label in Peanut Butter and wait. The last label I removed, I waited about a whole day. It doesn't work super fast, but leave it on there long enough to let the oils completely soak into the label.... and wha la! My label nearly fell off all on it's own! This makes the label come off completely clean! If you haven't tried it, you should!  This is the little stool that my kids use in their bathroom. It had 2 stickers on it. I had removed one and thought I was done. But there was another on the other side lol! This little stool came from kids R us. ...

 This question has been asked of me constantly, as ladies are trying to measure themselves for a custom fit suit. Mostly we would run into issues when I asked for the torso length measurement. They want to know how to do that, and I usually explain and send them an example photo of someone taking that measurement. They're not my photos so I didn't feel like I should post them on my blog. I needed one of my own, so I took some, and had my sis-in-law help me with one of the pics. (As she so nicely decided to drop by as I was trying to take pictures of myself!!)  I don't like stressing over whether or not the bodice is going to be the wrong length!  Like if I'm not totally sure they measured right, and that scares me to death! I mean, if its wrong, then I make the suit wrong!! I was struggling with this most recently when someone gave me their torso/body length and it seemed short to me. I wondered if she knew where she was supposed to measure to? But I've also wonde...
