here's a little collection of spring cleaning tips i've rounded up this week:
march is "mending month" over at craft magazine - and they have posted some great tips on mending and cleaning, including these great stain removal tips.
when i learned the bit about baby powder on grease stains my life changed for the better. somehow i'm constantly dripping oil on my clothes.
they've also got great advice on removing sweaty armpit stains from your cotton t-shirts. you know you've got them.
now that i've got a sewing machine, i'm determined to treat it nicely and care for it so it doesn't get cranky. if you've got one i encourage you to take this opportunity to pamper your sewing machine with this spring cleaning for your sewing machine tutorial.
finally, if you've got a much loved quilt around your house that's seen better days, i found this useful tutorial on patching up those ripped spots.
if you've got spring cleaning tips to share please send them my way.
