Q: As with many kinds of clothing repairs, you'll want to do your stitching from the underside of the garment. This makes it less likely that your stitches will be visible from the outside. With loose or torn hems, it's a lot easier to sew them back in place while the garment is inside out. It'll be easier for you to see exactly where you need to do your stitching. Match the color of thread as closely as possible so that your stitches blend in with the fabric better. Cut off about 1 foot (12in) of thread and pull one end through the eye of the needle. Create a knot at the end of the thread. To make a knot, wrap the end of the thread around your finger 2-3 times, then roll the thread off your finger. Pull the end of the thread to create a small knot.
A: Turn the garment inside out to access the loose part of the hem. Pick a thread that matches the garment and prepare your needle.

Q: Even though cats really need your care, they have a strong need for independence and personal space. While cats enjoy being stroked, they are not always interested in interaction with people. One of the biggest mistakes pet owners make is to treat cats like dogs. Remember that they are very different animals! Dogs are pack animals originally bred to work alongside people. In contrast, cats are relatively solitary animals that historically served humans by killing vermin on their own. Don't smother cats or be offended if they hide from you sometimes. This is part of their nature. When cats are punished by yelling or other aggressive actions, they simply tend run away. For the most part, cats do not learn through discipline. Your cat will not love you if you're a mean owner. Never strike a cat as this will only make matters worse. While spraying a cat with water to punish bad behaviours is a common tactic, water-spraying may make your cat fear and distrust of you Like humans, there are some foods that cats prefer over all others. Find out what these foods are, and instead of discipline use treats to reinforce your cat's positive behaviour. Tastes among cats vary, but small tuna flakes and cooked chicken pieces often prove irresistible. Ration these treats to make your cat love you. Avoid feeding cats milk; contrary to popular belief, dairy is unhealthy for them. Also avoid feeding cats chocolate, candy, raw eggs, raw meat or fish. Remember that treats are not a substitute for full meals of cat food. Although there are certain behaviours common to all cats, considerable variation exists. Spend time getting to know what your cat likes and dislikes. Knowing and respecting your cat's unique personality is important to getting it to love you.
A: Strike a healthy balance between playing with your cat and giving it alone time. Avoid resorting to punishment. Discover your cat's favourite treats. Embrace your cat's unique personality!

Q: Make 4 ramps using the rectangles and 8 squares. Don't bother making sides. Tape the edges together, and stand up the two on the ends of the L. Tape them together to make a corner, and tape it to the ramps. Do this for each corner. This is tricky, because the sides have to be curved correctly, but not at a wrong angle. A good idea is to cut a big rectangle, tape one side correctly, then cut off the excess and cut the rest.
A: Cut 21 squares and 4 rectangles. Tape the bottom of each ramp to another square in the middle. Note that at each empty corner, make a corner by putting three squares on the floor in the arrangement of an L. Make a triangle, to put in each corner.

Q: Magazines usually have a theme or topic for all of their content. A good theme is general enough for you to write plenty on but specific enough that it caters to a specific audience. Some themes have more magazines than others, and you may want to break out into your own niche. As you come up with your theme, ask yourself: Is this an art or literary journal? A lifestyle journal? Is it about a certain hobby or fashion? Will I be reporting news or trends? Do other magazines cover this topic? How could I uniquely present this topic? What makes my idea different? What kinds of articles could I write for this magazine? You should determine what kind of person will be reading your magazine. By focusing on your audience, you will refine your magazine towards a specific niche. Try to determine the following: Who would be interested in this topic? Am I marketing to a specific gender, age, religion, cultural background, or sexual orientation? Would people in certain industries or careers be more attracted to this type of magazine? What kinds of concerns does this audience have? How would this audience relate to my magazine? How often would I publish this magazine? Monthly? Weekly? Every two weeks? Once you know what your theme is, it is good to do some research on it. You may already know the basics, but you should know what people expect of a magazine like yours. Research can help you generate ideas, and it will help you understand what to avoid in your niche. What are the most recent trends, fads, gadgets, apps, and fashions that relate to my topic? What kinds of articles do people need or want? What kind of tone do I need to set for this topic? Is it a highly technical subject? Can I use humor? Does it require high academic language or casual writing? The best kind of research you can do is to look at magazines that are similar to what you to do. While you should not steal their content, you can look for inspiration. These magazine can show you what does and does not work in a print medium. You can also find out if your idea has been done before or if the market is already saturated with that type of magazine. You can also contact the editors of these magazines to find out what printers they use, what their costs are, and how they sell advertisements. Write out a sentence or two that outlines what you want the purpose of your magazine to be. This statement should include who the targeted audience is and why they should read your magazine. For example, if you wanted to make a lifestyle magazine for young women interested in knitting, your mission statement could be: "This magazine seeks to explore the world of knitting for women 20-30 years old by fostering networks of creativity and offering the latest product reviews, fun and unique patterns, and monthly knitting contests." The title should relate to your theme. It should be fun, catchy, and memorable. Good titles tend to be one to three words. It should clearly express what your magazine is about.
A:
Choose a topic. Identify your target audience. Research your topic. Study similar magazines. Define your mission statement. Think of a title.
