In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you attempt to wash your blanket, read the directions listed on the tag to find out the best way to do it. Most manufacturers include specific instructions for cleaning and maintaining their blankets that are meant to help keep them soft and snuggly for years to come. The care instructions on a synthetic blanket may specify a maximum heat setting, for example, while blankets in vibrant colors or patterns might call for a particular type of detergent. If your blanket didn't come with care instructions, try looking up tips on how to safely wash the fabric online. Just like putting your blanket in with the rest of your laundry can rob it of its soft finish, more aggressive wash cycles are often too much for delicate fabrics. During the gentle cycle, the machine's agitator will slowly whisk your blanket back and forth, cleaning it without roughing it up. An added benefit of going with the gentle cycle is that it's shorter than the other cycles, which means you'll be back bundled up under your favorite blanket in less time. Stick to a standard-strength liquid detergent free of additives like bleach, fabric softeners, or perfumes. You'll only need to add a small amountexcess detergent doesn't always get rinsed off and can coat the fibers of your blanket, making them feel sticky to the touch. Most fleece blankets are designed to be stain-resistant, so a basic soap-and-water combo will usually be more than enough to get them nice and clean. Fabric softeners can actually damage fabrics that have been treated with water-repellent finishes, so it's best to forego these products.
Summary: Follow the care instructions provided on the tag or label. Wash your blanket on the gentle cycle. Use a regular dishwashing detergent.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A sweater that your cat already loves to sleep on would be a great choice for this. You can also use any old sweater, or even a brand-new one, as long as you don't mind cutting and sewing it back up. ) You can sew this sweater using a sewing machine and matching thread, or by hand using a yarn and a yarn needle. If the sweater has a turtleneck, cut it off first. For a nicer finish, turn the sweater inside-out first, then sew straight across the top of the sweater, just below the neckline. Turn the sweater right-side-out when you are done. Use a ruler and a tailor's chalk to draw a horizontal line across the front of your sweater. Make sure that the line is level with the bottom of each armhole. Make sure that the stuffing meets the body of the sweater, where the neckline used to be. Use enough stuffing to fill the arms, but not so much that they stretch out and become bulky. Fill one arm all the way to the cuff, and the other just below. You can also roll up a baby blanket or quilt batting, and use that instead. Take the arm that you filled all the way to the edge, and tuck it inside the other arm. You want the cuffs to overlap each other. Thread a yarn needle with a piece of yarn. Sew the arms together along the edge of the visible cuff. You can use a matching yarn color for this, or a contrasting one. Spread the sweater onto a flat surface. Set the looped arms on top, so that the cuff is facing the bottom. Trace around the outer edge of the looped arms with tailor's chalk. Cut along the line that you drew. Make sure that you cut through both layers. You don't have to do this, but it will make the bed more comfortable for your cat. You can use more polyester stuffing/fiberfill, or you can use a pillow. If you are using a pillow, make sure that it is the same dimensions as the sweater's body. Flip the sweater over. Sew the body of the sweater to the looped arms using a yarn needle, yarn, and a whipstitch. Start at one armpit and end at the other. You can use a matching yarn color for this, or a contrasting one.
Summary: Find a soft sweater. Sew up the neckline. Sew across the sweater from one armpit to the other. Stuff the arms of the sweater with polyester fiberfill. Tuck one cuff inside the other. Sew the arms together using a whipstitch. Cut the excess material off of the bottom of the sweater, if needed. Consider stuffing the body of the sweater. Sew the sweater to the arms using a whipstitch.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you choose to use photographic paper, you can load it into your camera under specific lighting conditions. For photographic paper, you have to load it either under a safelight, or a flashlight filtered through at least three layers of red cellophane attached to the lighted end. The flashlight must be six to eight feet away, so hanging it from a ceiling and working underneath it is a good way to accomplish this distance. Unlike photographic paper, film must be loaded under completely dark conditions. Practice loading your camera with a simple piece of paper in lighted conditions, and then with your eyes closed to get the feel of loading the film before you attempt to do so in complete darkness. You will have to cut the film down into smaller frames. The size of the frame will depend on the overall size of your camera's body. For most moderately-sized cans, you can use a strip of film cut into 2 3/8 to 3 1/2-inch pieces. For a camera made from a one-gallon paint can, cut a 4 by 5-inch piece of film. A camera made from a 2-pound coffee can will take a 2 1/4 by 3 1/4-inch piece of film. These measurements apply to the use of photographic paper as well. Use sheet film if possible, which is easier to manipulate as it is completely flat. Make sure to cut down your paper or film in complete darkness. A closet should work fine as long as no cracks allow light to seep through. If you are unsure about the ratio between the size of your film and the size of the camera body, err on the side of cutting too large of a strip of light-sensitive material. You can always trim down the edges of your photo after you develop it.
Summary:
Choose photographic paper or film. Determine the size of your light-sensitive material.
