Keeping Clothes Dyed Black From Fading
I have some black clothes that I need to dye to get them black again. Once I do, how can I set the color so that it doesn't fade again?

Recovering Sandals With Suede Fabric
I have a pair of sandals that I got about 2 years ago at the thrift store. I wore them so much, they got pretty ratty on the part where you put your foot in and the foam part of the padding started coming up.

Repairing Shoe Straps With "Insta Fix" Glue
I have some rubber after sport sandals that I find to be very comfortable. Unfortunately, the straps disengage long before the sole wears out, rendering them useless.

Repairing a T-shirt
I have a t-shirt that I just love, but can no longer wear because it has a large tear on the back. I would like to cut out the front section that I want to save and somehow attach it to a plain t-shirt. But I'm not sure how to do this. Any one have any suggestions?

Crocs Shrink in the Sun!
I have worn Crocs for several years, in fact, I am just getting ready to replace my first pair. The pair I have been wearing are about 4 years old. It amazes me how well they have held up, because I am quite rough on shoes.

Altering Men's T-shirts for a Woman
I travel and buy a lot of t-shirts. Most are men's. Is there any way to shorten them a bit and make them look a little more feminine? I can fix the neck and sleeves.

Use White Wine to Clean Red Wine From Clothing
About 35 yrs ago when I was in my 20's and going out dancing a lot, I was a red wine drinker. I sometimes ended up spilling more wine than I drank. A friend of mine told me how to get red wine out of my white sweater coat.

Repairing Snags in Microfiber Shirt
How do I repair the numerous "pulls" in the new microfiber, polyester "stay dry" golf shirts? I have tried pulling the fabric in different directions and pulling the threads to the inside of the shirt, nothing works.

Re-shaping a Leather Jacket
I have two new leather coats that were hung on hangers for over a year and now they have "bumps" in the shoulders from the hanger. Is there anyway that I can remove these stretched out bumps?
