J asked: I’m living near the village, and I’m completely willing to make the trek to the fashion district, but does anybody know where specifically I can get some hemp and/or organic fabrics? I’m a student at Parsons and this is our final project of the semester.
Thanks

Lori Z asked: I bought a home and am in the process of adding my own touches. However, I have found that the room I am working on has an issue. The former owner cut out fabric and glued (?) it to the closet doors. The doors are painted and I’m afraid that if I pull the fabric off, the paint will be pulled and ruin the closet doors. It doesn’t look like I can paint over it without still seeing the outline of the pattern. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the fabric off without ruining the doors?

the16cats asked: I heard many years ago about a dye that you get from pennies. You put a lot of pennies in a jar with the yarn and something else and the yarn will dye the pennies. Does anyone know the process? Any links to more info would be really appreciated
