In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You do not have to limit yourself to a certain type of fabric to make a great tie, but heavier fabrics do tend to wear better. For one tie, you'll need at least 112 yards (1.4m) of fabric for the front of the tie and about 5 x 6 inches of fabric for the back liner. Silk is a popular choice for tie liners. For a casual tie, go for patterned cotton, linen or denim. Ties are made with a material called interfacing, which is sewn or ironed into the inside of the tie as a liner. It allows fabrics to keep a firm shape. You will need 112 yards (1.4m) of interfacing in a color that matches the tie fabric. For fusible interfacing, you will put the glazed side face down on the tie fabric to permanently adhere it to the tie. Be sure to buy sewable, fusible interfacing because you will be sewing the tie later on. Interfacing that is sewn-in does not have a glaze on it. It is sewn to the inside of the seam line so there won't be visible stitching on the outside of the tie. In addition to the fabric and interfacing, you will need to buy the following supplies: Fine thread that matches the tie fabric A good pair of fabric scissors Either a needle (if you're sewing the tie by hand) or a sewing machine Straight pins Measuring tape Iron There are many tie patterns available for you to choose from. Once you find a style you like, you can print the outline for it online for free. The alternative to printing a tie outline would be to use a ruler to trace another tie out yourself. When tie outlines print, they will continue onto more than one page because the length of the tie will be longer than a standard sheet of printing paper. Simply tape the paper together when you trace them onto the fabric. You will need about 3/8in of additional space outside of your trace line that you will later use for the inseam.
Summary: Purchase your favorite fabric from your local craft store. Buy interfacing for the inside of the tie. Purchase the other supplies needed. Pick out a pattern.

You can use a spray bottle to completely cover your sneakers with bleach, or to splatter them. Here's a lit of what you will need: Canvas sneakers Bleach Water Spray bottle with nozzle Rubber gloves This will help you bleach them more evenly, and prevent you from damaging the laces. Even though you are working with a spray bottle, there is a good chance that some bleach may drip onto your skin. The gloves will keep your skin safe. For a stronger solution, use one part bleach and one part water. For a weaker solution, use one part bleach and two parts water. The bottle should have a nozzle with two to three settings: spray, mist, and off. This will mix up the bleach and water inside. Use the "spray" setting to squirt a few splatters onto your sneakers. This will give you a sort of galaxy effect. Use the "mist" setting and spray your shoes all over to completely bleach them. This may take around 20 minutes to several hours. The longer you leave them out, the lighter they will become. Keep in mind that some darker fabrics will never turn white. Some, such as black, may turn brown or orange. This will not only stop the bleach from acting, but it will also get rid of the smell.

One-sentence summary -- Gather your supplies. Consider taking the laces out of your sneakers. Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands. Fill a clean spray bottle with bleach and water. Close the spray bottle and shake it. Start spraying your shoes. Set the shoes out to dry. Consider washing your shoes with soap and water once you get the color you want. Re-lace your sneakers if you took the laces out.

Q: If the vehicle is extremely low on fuel or out of gas, add some using a red plastic gas container designed to carry and pour gas into a vehicle's fuel tank. Gasoline eats through many kinds of plastic, so it is very important you use a container intended to transport it. Screw the nozzle onto the large opening on the can, then open the breather cap on the other side before pouring the gas into your vehicle. The breather cap allows air to travel into the can, permitting the gas to pour out into the vehicle's fuel tank. Be careful not to spill gasoline on yourself or the paint. A common sign of trouble with your vehicle's fuel system is jerking or inconsistent power while you are driving at a consistent speed, such as on the highway. If you begin to feel the engine delivering intermittent power despite your foot staying in the same place on the throttle, it may be because of an issue with fuel delivery. If the RPMs also drop with the engine's power delivery, that indicates a fuel problem. If the RPMs climb as the power fails to reach the wheels, that is usually a transmission problem instead. If the engine stalls as you are driving and struggles to start or run again immediately after, try letting it sit for a few minutes and trying again. If the engine starts up and runs properly after sitting for twenty minutes or so, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter. As sediment builds up in a fuel filter, it can block the passage of fuel into the engine. Once the filter sits for a few minutes, the sediment may settle, allowing fuel to pass through once again. Your vehicle may not be getting fuel because the fuel filter is completely clogged. Replace your fuel filter by locating it beneath the vehicle and disconnecting the fuel lines going in and out of it. Remove the filter from the bracket and install a new one to allow fuel to flow to the engine once again. You can purchase replacement fuel filters at your local auto parts store. A severely clogged fuel filter can lead to burning out your fuel pump. There are a few methods you can use to test your fuel pump to see if it is functioning properly. Be sure to check that it is receiving electrical current, then you may want to do a flow test to check the volume of fuel it is sending to the engine. If the fuel pump is not functioning properly, it will need to be replaced. Refer to the service manual for your specific vehicle for instructions on replacing the fuel pump.
A: Add fuel if the vehicle's out of gas. Look for signs of jerking as you drive before it dies. Check to see if the vehicle will start again after a few minutes. Replace your fuel filter. Test your fuel pump.

Problem: Article: Apply a leather cleaner to the scuffed area, using the cleaner according to its label's instructions. Cleaning the area will remove dirt or oils, which will prevent discoloration and ensure the glue will set properly. It will also open the leather's pores, making it more receptive to the products you'll use to repair and recolor it. Gently run a spatula or the back of a knife against the grain of the scuff. Your goal is to carefully lift the scuffed fibers away from the surface. That way, you'll be able to access the area underneath the fibers with leather glue. Apply a few drops of leather glue onto the edge of your spatula or the back of your knife. Pull the tool against the grain of the scuff to apply the glue to the underside of the scuffed fibers. Use short, even strokes to thoroughly and carefully apply the glue. After applying glue against the grain, rub the tool with the grain of the scuff to flatten the area and remove air bubbles. Rubbing with the grain will lower the scuffed fibers back into place, so they're even with the leather surface. Use your finger to gently massage the area and remove excess glue. If you can match a recoloring marker to your leather, apply it in thin coats. Feather the outer edges of the recolored area to blend it with the surrounding leather. Light scuffs might not need any recoloring at all, so use your judgment after applying the leather glue.
Summary:
Clean the area with a leather cleaner. Use a sharp-edged tool to lift scuffed fibers. Apply a small amount of leather glue using a spatula or knife. Rub the repaired surface to remove air bubbles and excess glue. Use a leather marker to recolor the damaged area.
