NO MORE WIRE HANGERS - can you help?

Clumsy asked:


I need to buy some shirt hangers. I want my shirts to hang perfectly straight so that wrinkles don’t set in. Also I want the hanger not leave a protrusion at the shoulders. I like the collars to be always centered on the hanger. There must be a half-inch pocket of air between each shirt. The most important feature is the hook. It must have a swivel so that the shirt can be removed easily and without any pressure on the fabric during the removal process. Has anyone found a high performance hanger that can deliver these results? Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Why is dry cleaning actually wet?

Sammy asked:


When you get wool, cashmere, or other such fabrics wet, they shrink. The label states they should be dry-cleaned. However, I learned that dry cleaning is in fact a process where the clothes get wet. Why does that not cause shrinkage? Just curious.

Dual reclining loveseat - uneven cushions?

thenameisthesame asked:


I recently purchased a La-Z-Boy dual reclining loveseat. I noticed that the seat on the left sticks out about an inch more than the one on the right. I think that in the manufacturing process, the fabric on the seat on the right was sewn a little tigher than the seat on the left. It’s not very obvious and both seats are just comfortable. I didn’t notice this “defect” until about 3 weeks after I had it. Should I call the store and have them come look at it or is this something that is an acceptable variation?

I am in the process of sewing my own diaper stash, but my local fabric stores are very short on diaper flannel, and they also sell for about $6 a yard! I need some sites where I can find some inexpensive daiper flannel and flannel prints.

I want to buy a comforter it can be dry clean only but what kind of fabrics can go in the dryer safely? I have a lab mix dog that sheds and in between dry cleanings I want to be able to put it in the dryer to rid it of dog hair.
