Article: Curtain hems are folded twice at the bottom, so you will need twice as much fabric for the hem. This means that you will need to cut your curtains longer than you want them to be. The longer the curtain is, the wider the hem needs to be; this will help make it look more proportionate. Standard curtains have a 3 to 4 inch (7.62 10.16 centimeters) wide hem. You'll need to cut your curtains 6 to 8 inches (15.24 to 20.32 centimeters) longer than you want them to be. Shorter curtains might look better with a 2 inch (5.08 centimeter) wide hem. Cut your curtains 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) longer than you want them to be. Longer curtains, such as floor to ceiling, might look better with a 5 inch (12.7 centimeter) wide hem. Cut your curtains 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) longer than you want them to be. Because of their size, it might be easier to spread your curtains on the floor. If you have a very large table and a small curtain, however, you can work on the table. How far you fold it up depends on how wide you want your hem to be. For example, if you want a 4 inch (10.16 centimeters) wide hem, fold the bottom up by 4 inches (10.16 centimeters). Use sewing pins to hold the fabric in place while you iron it. Be sure to remove the pins when you are done ironing. Be sure that you are folding it up by the same amount as last time. For example, if you just folded your hem up by 4 inch (10.16 centimeters) earlier, fold it up by that same amount again. Pin the hem in place and press it flat with an iron. You have just folded your double hem. The lining is usually hemmed on its own. It is tucked into the side hems, but not into the bottom hem. Click here to learn how to hem a curtain lining. Cut a piece of hem tape slightly shorter than the width of your curtain. Slip it inside the hem, right between the back of the curtain and the folded hem. Align the top of the hem tape with the top of the folded hem. Iron the hem down. Press down with the iron for 10 seconds at a time before moving on to the next section. Most hem tapes will require a wool setting. Different brands will require different settings, however. Refer to the packaging from your hem tape for the proper setting. To prevent the fabric from burning, consider placing a damp cloth between the iron and the curtain. Some hem tapes have adhesive on one side, and a paper back on the other. You will need to iron it twice: first with the paper backing on, and then with the paper backing peeled off. You may find hem tape also labeled as stitch-witchery, iron-on hem tape, or fusible fabric tape. Try to sew as close to the top folded edge as you can. Use a color that matches the curtain color as closely as possible.

Make sure you have enough fabric for a double-folded hem. Spread the curtain, wrong-side-up on a flat surface. Fold your bottom up and press it flat with an iron.

Consider using a sewing machine to sew the hem.
Article: The best way to flush any type of drug from your system is to keep your body very hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Over the course of several days, the water will dilute the concentration of drugs in your body, and frequent urination will help flush out any detectable sign of the drugs. For drugs that are stored in the fat cells of your body (e.g., cocaine and THC from marijuana), increasing your water consumption will not have a noticeable effect. Adult men should drink at least 15.5 cups (3.7L) of water a day, and adult women should drink at least 11.5 cups (2.7L) of water daily. If you're drinking water to flush drugs out of your system, increase the amount of water you're drinking daily by about 23 cups (0.470.71L). All types of tea are great detoxing agents, and cranberry juice will make you urinate more frequently. Drink 3-4 glasses of tea or juice every day while you're trying to clear drugs out of your system. You can drink green, black, white, jasmine, or any other type of tea. The tea will provide your body with antioxidants and electrolytes, which will accelerate your metabolism. You can drink your green tea hot by steeping tea bags. Or you can drink it cold, by making iced tea. If you're drinking hot green tea, pour 14 teaspoon (1.2mL) of lemon juice into the tea to enhance the flavor. Alcohol binds most easily to cocaine and the THC in marijuana and helps the substances attach to the body's fats. Once THC and cocaine are stored in fat cells, they're difficult to remove from the body. Drinking alcoholespecially in large amountsonly worsens the problem. Alcohol can have negative effects on your body on its own and may also lower your inhibitions and result in you taking more of the drug you're trying to flush out.

Drink at least 1012.5c (2,4003,000mL) of water throughout the day. Consume tea or cranberry juice daily in addition to water. Avoid drinking alcohol when flushing out drugs.
Article: Use a well finished medium-density fiberboard for the doors. The size of the pieces will depend on the chosen height of your chicken coop. Each door should be as tall and half as wide as the door opening. Screw a 2x2 along each side of each door opening, as well as along the tops. This will give you a sturdy place to screw the door hinges. Screw in two hinges per doorone about four inches from the top of the door and the other about four inches from the bottom. Note that you may need a third hinge directly in the middle, depending on how tall your chicken coop is. You can use the same measurements for the back of the coop as you did for the front, but remember to take new measurements for the doors on the side of the coop. Brass hook catches are an inexpensive, efficient closure to use, but any type of closure will work, so long as it is not easily opened by common predators such as dogs or skunks.
