Replacing Liner on a Fur Coat
Does anyone have ideas or suggestions on how to repair or replace the inside lining of a fur coat? I'm not sure if it's possible and am checking all outlets because the nearest furrier is about an hour from where I live. Thanks in advance!

Hand Lotion to Polish Imitation Leather
I use cheap hand lotion to polish away the scuff marks on my imitation leather shoes. Works beautifully. Just smooth on and wipe off excess with a paper towel or a sock without a mate!

Plastic Zipper Won't Work
I have a cycling Jersey with a plastic zipper that will not unzip. There is no damage to the zipper, it just won't unzip. Any ideas as to how to make it work 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.

Removing Odor from Shoes
My husband has a problem with very smelly feet. I had tried all kinds of powders before I tried this. We were forced to throw his shoes away regularly. This tip works and he is able to keep tennis shoes and boots longer.

Use Iron-on Interfacing for Mending Fine Fabrics
You can use iron-on interfacing, which comes in white or black, for mending of items with finer fabrics. The interfacing is so light weight that the mend won't show, as it would with regular bonding materials.
