I also like the two colors and especially the jazzy little bow.

I have an ancient Kenmore (1981) and paid a bundle to get it repaired a few years back because it has one feature I am crazy about. You can set the needle to always stop at either extreme, all the way up or down. By alternating, you can baste and reverse stitch with wonderful control.
Gotta have control of something in life, right?

That’s a good idea — I usually go organic on the ketchup just to get sugar instead of HFCS (our grocer’s house brand organics includes just about everything these days). But I’m going to remember to check the passover section this week!

I think that one of the mistakes people make is that people such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are held up as being ‘entrepreneurs’. A lot of other people, who might have played with the idea of having their own businesses are just overwhelmed by the technology and so on..forgetting that a lot of people have a lot of businesses in this world that are not high tech, that are not requiring a change in education or a huge capital investment and so on. Sometimes, all you need to be able to do, in order to have a business, is to be able to come up with some alternative (such as the kids’ clothing) or a small incremental improvement, or..be able to fix something. That’s a business.

Opportunites are what we make of them…

Having a 9 year old who loves bright colors like a gypsy, I am always making colorful bright clothing, and through my little walking billboard, have a built a small home based business as a seamstress. I do kids clothes, prom dresses, and am in the midst of creating a corseted wedding dress for a woman who is having a midnight Hallowe’en wedding.

It all started a couple years ago, because Hubby and I disliked the prosti-tot look that was happening in kids clothes at the local mega-mart, and I began to utilize my (then rusty) sewing skills.

As an aside, I love those pants!!

Brad – a lot depends on which direction of the failure is going: down from the bottom of the zipper and into the rearend or between the legs. I’ll do a crotch repair post soon, ok?

How do you repair the crotches on them? That’s what always goes for me. I’ve got a box of old jeans with the crotches blown out on them

Not much problem finding kosher goods in my area, fortunately.

Probably, but it still sounds funny.

I have the feeling what they meant is citric acid…
