For my 2016 Family and Consumer Science mastery project, I went made a throw pillow, that is made to hold items like remotes, out of an old pair of jeans. I found the idea for this project on Pinterest, but with no instructions attached. Before I started the project, I knew that I had to have a plan of what to do. So, I sat down and thought it all through. I thought about what I would need to do from when I turned on the machine to when I turned it off. After I had slept on my plan, I went to the Goodwill and bought an old pair of jeans. The first step to creating this pillow was to cut the pants around the knee area to turn them into more of capris. The next step was to go over to the sewing machine. I needed to line one pant leg up with the …show more content…
After that, I needed to cut the front half of the waistband off, including the button and the front two belt loops. This insured that the fabric would be easier to sew. After I did this, I sewed the flat of fabric that is over the zipper down. Next, I folded the bottom of the legs up to the top of where I cut off the waistband. Then, I sewed the bottom of the legs to the top of the previously cut waistband. The next step was to fold the side of the waistband that was not cut down over where I sewed the bottom of the pants to the top of the waistband. Doing this hid all of the uneven ends of the already sewed things. This also put the belt loops onto the back of the pillow. As I was doing this, I learned that the denim was to thick to fit underneath the presser foot of the machine, so I had to learn how to hand sew. I hand-sewed the waistband down. After that step in the process, I sewed up the left ride of the pillow with the sewing machine. Then I stuffed it. I pushed the stuffing into all of the corners and made sure that it was one hundred percent stuffed. Next, I had to hand-sew up the right side of the pillow because the material stuffed with the stuffing was too thick to fit underneath the presser
Have you asked yourselves why so many people go crazy over low rise jeans? Especially to women who do not want to have any waistband cutting along the abdomen area.

Soak the dried husks in warm water for about an hour and a half or until soft. Drain the husks well; pat dry with paper towels. For each tamale spread about 2 tablespoons of the filling lengthwise down the center. Fold husk and secure with strips of cornhusks. Steam for about 1 hour.
Form a small hole in the middle of the ball and place the filling you chose inside. Then, you close the ball back up
What ever happened to having your pants on your waist? It’s apparently now called a “fashion” to have them below your ass. Though sagging looks hideously ridiculous there is some history behind it I bet many of you do or don't know. For instance According to Greg Mathis, sagging was adopted in the United States prison systems where belts were sometimes prohibited to prevent prisoners from using them as a weapon or committing suicide by hanging themselves but that style was later popularized by hip hop artists such as snoop dogg and others in the 1990’s.
Remember the steamer I mentioned at the beginning, well now is the time were you will have to use it. Fill up the cooking pot with water about one fourth the pot and place the steamer rack inside. The steamer rack will be were you place the tamales when its time to set them in the pan. By this time you should place a a rock inside the center of the rack to add the support of the tamales and will help them stay up. Make sure the folded part of the tamale is held down that way the stuffing won’t come out when its cooking. Organize all the tamales around the rock leaning towards it and continue to build your self up until you have finished pilling the tamales. Place a moist small towel over the tamales and a plastic bag to seal the pot then cover it and put it on the stove. Let the pot sit there for about 2 hours with a medium fire
It is essential to understand the revolution of the female silhouette throughout history, specifically looking at the corset “an undergarment traditionally made of stiffened material laced tight to the body in order to slim a woman's waist” now and then and how the silhouette changed. Understanding the importance of this history and being aware of the evolution in women’s lifestyles, it will be practical to use traditional construction methods that will give us the ability and possibility to apply this knowledge to our future fashion design. In the fifteenth century women began wearing an undergarment of thickened linen, tightened by front or back ties which was known as corset to give the women a snug shape. It was made of two layers of linen tightly held together with stiff glue. Corset makers by the sixteenth century then changed the process of making corset by introducing a thin piece of whalebone in between two layers of corset material which was like knitting needles.
the shield of the bud down under the two flaps in the rootstock. Push the bud into the rootstock until the horizontal cut of the shield is in line with the horizontal cut of the rootstock. Finally, use the parafilm and then the budding rubber to secure the bud in place. Be extremely careful to not let the bud more or shift as you apply the parafilm and budding rubber because the graft will not take if the cambium layer doesn’t line up. As the bud comes out of dormancy, it will grow into a new branch just as if it is part of the rootstock.

INTRODUCTION: As a retail major at Florida State, I have been able to learn a lot about my love for fashion. One thing that is true about me is that I love to understand the origins behind different subjects, whether that is my family or, in this case, piece of clothing. Perfectly tying those two worlds together, I am going to be talking about the origins of denim jeans. First I will go over the history, then I will go over how jeans became popular, and lastly I will talk
