Do you have a favorite homemaking tip? If so, I’d love to see it AND share it. I’m going to do a reader roundup post this Friday and would love to share YOUR best tip.
You can reply directly to this post or contact me via email. Either way is fine. Be sure to include your name the way you’d like it posted (initials are fine). Also, if you have a blog and would like me to link to it, include that as well.
I’m really looking forward to your tips and excited to share the whole collection with all of you. The deadline is Wednesday evening, April 26th, so don’t delay!
When i was young, my nanny taught me a trick when sewing. You know how sometimes it’s hard to pull a needle through a fabric because it’s either getting rusty or the fabric is so tight? Well, She rubs the needle on a candle so it glides in and out with no problem. I’ve even seen her rub the needle on her scalp! Lol. She said not to do that, but she thinks it does the same job. ? If you like this, i’ll try to come up with more.
That is wonderful – thanks so much!
Oh, i forgot to mention, she also wraps the threads around the candle and pulls, sort of to coat them with a bit of wax, so they don’t tangle while sewing. Hope this tip is useful for your roundup ?
