Record each of these measurements and then add to them to ensure that your sleeves will have enough fabric for seam allowance and give. You can add more or less to the measurements to ensure the desired fit. For each measurement, you will need to add: Bicep. Add about 2 inches (5.1cm) to 3 inches (7.6cm). Elbow. Add 1 inch (2.5cm) to 2 inches (5.1cm). Wrist. Add 1 inch (2.5cm). Finding the armhole depth measurement requires your bodice pattern. The armhole is the area where your sleeve will connect with your bodice. To find the sloper, place an L-shaped ruler so that its inner edges are lined up with the tip of the shoulder and the tip of the underarm. Then, mark the point at the inner edge of the L that falls on your bodice. The armhole depth measurement is the distance from the top of the shoulder to the point in the crook of the L-shape. Record this measurement.

Article: This will be your first line of defense if a burning log falls out of the fireplace, or a piece of furniture catches fire. Familiarize yourself with how the fire extinguisher works when you purchase it. Also check the expiration date; if your fire extinguisher has expired, purchase a new one at your local hardware store immediately. To extinguish a fire without using a fire extinguisher (say, if you need to leave the house or want to go to bed), you can "collapse" the fire on itselfpush the logs down to remove the airflow under the blaze, which will smother the fire. This is not an immediate process and it may still take about 30 minutes for the fire to be reduced to coals, which you can then shovel extinguished ashes on top of to put out. In case of fire, always have a smoke alarm in each room of your house. Make sure that the detectors work by checking them once a month, and change the batteries annually. Also install carbon-monoxide detectors in your home. You may not need a carbon monoxide detector on every room, but you house should have one on every level or floor. If you have children, make sure they realize that these alarms are important devices and not to be tampered or played with. In order to reduce the risk of a house fire, keep the area within 5 feet (1.5m) of your fireplace clear, otherwise you'll risk these items catching on fire. Don't set any furniture, animal beds, or pillows in this area. If you have a rug near the fireplace, make sure that it's nonflammable. If you store firewood and kindling inside your house, make sure that these flammable supplies are set back from the fireplace. It would cause immediate danger if a burning spark were to ignite your entire firewood supply indoors.

Article: Make sure to peel and cut your fruit into pieces that your blender can manage. Your fruit can be frozen or fresh depending on your preference. Some healthy fruits that you can use include, banana, watermelon, mango, and peaches. Agave nectar is a healthier alternative to sugar and will help enhance the taste of your Slurpee. If you can't get Agave nectar, you can use lemonade or more sparkling water as an alternative. If you like your Slurpee sweeter, then add more agave nectar. Blend all of the ingredients together until your drink reaches the desired consistency. Mixing the Slushee for a longer period will result in your slushy being more watery than the traditional Slurpee found at stores. Drink the Slurpee as soon as you're finished blending, or the ice will melt, and it will lose its consistency.
