Question: selling jewelry at a garage sale..how should I display them? =]
So our family is have a garage sale next weekend and we are selling a lot of jewelry including necklaces, earrings, rings, pins, bracelets and a lot more.. Most of it is valuable and we don't want it to get stolen.
So, my question is, do you have any ideas about how I could display all the jewelry in a way that it can't get stolen (like tied to something) and it would be high enough to see and eye-catching to people.
Thanks a lot!
ps. i also have a lot of jewlery in my room that I want to display nicely so I can have easy access to it. right now, I have my jewlery in containers and I need a better and cheap way I could hang the jewlery on my dresser..(I dont want anything hanging on my walls)
You know I want some ideas that I could make myself, if not something that looks like a coffee mug holder.
a shower rod is way to0 big..
Answer: 1. You can display earrings and stuff like that by sticking them in a pin-board or that cork material and put the pinboard high so people cant reach them
2. A glass case or soemthing like that
3. Also to display jewelry nicley you can by a cheap photoframe and put some tulle material in place of where the photo should go and then put earings through the holes in the material! i have made it and it looks really cool!
Make your own Jewelry Display Case/Rack for $3 or less & make it in less than 10 minutes

Question: Patterns for making a summer dress?
I would really like to make my own summer dress, but have no patterns to go by. I just got done searching Google, but I am not sure what to type up. Does anybody have any sites that they would recommend that has some nifty patterns?
Thanks!
Oh, if you are curious as to what kind of summer dress I have my eye on, this is the kind, but any would really do.

I really like the style...with the spagetti straps and how it's kind of flowy.
Oops! Wrong link! LOL I clicked on an individual dress, so let's try this link.

Answer: go to http://1sewingpatterns.com
You can browse all the major brand patterns online there.
You can purchase them online or at fabric stores. Chains like JoAnn Fabrics and places like WalMart or Hobby Lobby all carry Simplicity, McCalls, Butterick, Vogue, and usually Kwik Sew. Fabric stores will generally carry Burda and New Look.
Simplicity, McCalls, Vogue, and Burda and the better pattern company (of the common ones). Simplicity, Vogue, and Burda are going to carry more stylish clothing. Simplicity is going to be the easiest to sew up. I don't recommend Kwik Sew or Butterick.
If you want to order online (like from that site I linked to), other great companies are Hot Patterns and Loes Hinse. For Hot Patterns, I'd go to their site as they have a bigger selection there - I think it's http://hotpatterns.com google it if it's not. They've got some really nifty stuff, a bit more intricate sometimes, but really worth it.
Edit - I looked at your link - that's a pretty simple dress, you should probably be able to find something like that in a Simplicity or McCalls book. If not, check Burda. It's not much more than a tank dress with a zipper. It will be your fabric selection that will make it flowy like that. Pay attention to the fabric recommendations - make sure it says you can use things like Challis, Gauze, Lightweight Cottons, Rayons, Linens instead of things like Jersey and Double Knits...
