How To Make T Shirts White Again

                                          How to make those dingy white T-Shirts white again

Mix dish washer detergent and enough bleach (small amount or as much as does the job) in a large kettle of water.  Heat on the stove 'till the water is hot enough to dissolve the detergent .. almost to a boiling point ... stirring every few minutes.  Add the T-Shirts to the bleach/detergent/water solution and stir them around every few minutes.  Turn off the heat and let the T-Shirts soak for an hour or so.... stirring now and then.

After the soaking, take the shirts out of the water (I use a wooden spoon) and put in washer to do a regular wash cycle.

You can reuse the water solution for more T-Shirts.
Don't do this to anything you wouldn't want bleached.

How to Make a Small Fast Stitch Pouch/Bag

1 10 x 6 Inch Outside Fabric
1 10 x 6.5 Inch Pellon Fleece Interfacing
1  10 x 6.5 Inch Lining Fabric
1 Snap or Velcro Piece or Your choice of fastener


Lay outside fabric piece on Pellon Fleece Interfacing

Press/Iron to adhere the 2 pieces together

Lay the Lining Fabric Piece on top of the Pellon Fleece Interfacing you just

joined,and press it smooth

Now trim around the 4 sides to make sure the 3 layers are even on all sided.

Pin to keep it even, and then sew all around the 4 sides, 1/8 inch in from the edge

Again, press all layers making sure they are all even

Next, sew a zigzag stitch all around the 4 corners to enclose the bare edges. 

You can use a matching thread or a contrasting thread.  Contrasting thread will

show every little error, but the contrast is interesting...

just use your own ideas on finishing
After you have zigzagged all around, press again and fold the bottom 1/3 or so up to

within 2-3 inches from the top, making sure all sides are even.

At this point you can add half of what you are going to use as a fastener. …

a snap, velcro, magnetic snap... whatever you decide to use... put the one half

on before you sew the folded piece.

Now you are ready to sew the folded piece to make the pocket.  Making sure all

sides are even, sew a straight stitch down both sides, securing the ends with back stitch.

Again, press and fold down the remaining top 2-3 inches of the top, over the pocket to make the closure piece.

Sew the other half of the fastener you are using onto the top part and fasten to

make sure you are pleased with it so far. 

Next you can add a button over the snap/velcro/etc... to add a little pizzaz...
  And you are done!  Congrats... now you can use your talent and ideas to add special

stuff to this bag.. just to make it personal and extra special.
   You can use most any size of fabric to make this any size... experiment and enjoy!!
