How to Make Your Own Printable Invitations for Any Occasion

Even with modern technology like email and cell phones, printed invitations have remained the most common way to let people know about your upcoming party and will continue to remain popular due to the timeless rules of party etiquette. Invitations can be a major cost, especially for large parties, like weddings and some baby showers. However, with a little creativity and time, you can make your own printable invitations, even if you have no artistic skills.

1. The first step is designing your card. You can use a simple word processor like Microsoft Word and if you want, you can go to the Adobe's website at http://createpdf.adobe.com to convert your file into a pdf file. Select the proper dimensions and print out a sample on some plain white paper just to make sure it is the right size.

2. Next, you will want to find the proper card stock to print out your invitations on. Your local office supply store will have these and you can purchase them inexpensively there.

3. Use the word processor to insert text boxes with the words you want on your invitation. Play around with the fonts and text color.

4. There are many sites that offer free clip art and pictures that you can use for your invitations. Just do a search for "free clip art" on the search engines and you will find many sites that provide these services for free. Browse through and download the pictures you want and then insert them into your card at the desired location.

5. If you use a background image, make sure it does not obscure the text on the card. Ideally, background images should be watermarked. Most word processors will allow you to select background images and make them watermarks. Another alternative is to click on all the text boxes and give them solid colored backgrounds.

6. Need a catchy poem or verse? Once again, you can search the internet for related verses. For example, if I am making baby shower invitations, then I can search for "baby shower poem" or "baby verse" and any other related phrases.

7. Save the master copy of the finished card and print out a sample copy on plain paper to see what it will look like. If it looks good, then you can start personalizing each card and printing it out on card stock.

8. If you do not have a color printer, then create a personalized copy for each guest and save it as a separate file on a disk. Take the disk to your local print shop and have them print out a invitation for each guest. Some print shops may even print out the invitations for you if you give them the guest list and template. A print shop will cost more than printing them out yourself, but probably less than buying invitations from somewhere else. Plus the product should look very professional and they may even have the right card stock available. Additionally, print shops can do engraved invitations as well, which are good for upscale occasions like weddings.

Some other guidelines include try to stick to a central theme, don't try to use too many pictures and colors, and compare your card to others at card stores to get a feel for what a good invitation should look like. Remember that most invitations are simple and have just a few graphics and maybe one verse. As you can see, there are infinite possibilities when creating your own party invitations and not only is it a fun project, but will also save you money.

2 Sewing Techniques On How To Sew A Reversible Vest

Here are two sewing techniques plus some good sewing tips on how to sew a reversible vest or a lined vest. One is stitched and turned; the other is stitched and bound.

Try both to help you determine your favorite sewing technique.

For both methods, follow these cutting and sewing instructions:

Choose similar weight fabrics for a reversible vest.

Preshrink all fabrics and interfacing.

Interface the vest with a fusible knit interfacing.

Test the interfacing on a scrap of fabric first to make sure it will be OK.

Depending on the fabric, you may choose to interface both of the fronts and back of the vest.

Note: You may want to interface the fabric and then cut the vest pieces out of the interfaced fabric.

Carefully cut two fronts and one back from each fabric.

Make sure the front and back vest pieces are the same size in both fabrics after you cut them out. Lay one over the other to check it.

Apply any pockets or designs to each front and back layer.

For each layer:

Place right sides of the fabric together and stitch the front and back shoulder seams together. Do NOT backstitch.

Instead begin and end each seam with short stitches (18-20 per inch) for about 1 to 1-1/2 inches.

Sandwich press the seams.

Press the seams open.

At the neck and shoulder point of the shoulder seam, trim the shoulder seam allowance back at an angle for about 1-1/2 inch to eliminate bulk when the neck and armhole seams are made.

Also trim the shoulder seams of one of the layers to be just slightly less than the other layer to stagger or grade the seams when they lay on top of each other.

Continue with either Method I or Method II to finish the vest.

Method I - How To Sew To Complete A Stitched And Turned Reversible Vest

Place the two vests right sides together.

Note: Generally, when sewing a lined vest, it is a good idea to trim off about 1/8 inch from the lining before attaching it to the outer layer. This keeps the lining from showing on the outside when the vest is worn.

For a reversible vest, you may or may not want to do this.

If a bit of one of the layers shows on one of the sides, it may look like narrow piping. You are the designer. Create the look you want.

Stitch the vests armhole edges together using short stitches (18-20 stitches per inch) all the way.

Sandwich press these seams.

Press the seams open.

Trim the armhole seams to 1/8 inch seam allowance. The short stitches will hold this seam.

If this is a lined vest, understitch the armhole seams and all of the other seams as well. If it is reversible, you may not want the understitching to show on the edge.

Sewing Tip: Always use short stitches and trim to 1/8 inch seam allowance to stitch a curve. Then understitch if possible. It produces a much cleaner, sharper curve instead of trimming to 1/4 inch and clipping. Try it!

After the armholes are finished, place the two right sides of the vest back together again lining up all the edges. Pin to hold the layers.

Stitch the front and neckline together.

Begin stitching about 2 inches from the side seam on the bottom of the front and stitch across the bottom of the front, up the center front and around the neck and down on the other side of the front stopping about 2 inches from the other side seam.

Use a regular stitch length to stitch across the bottom of the front and up the front. Change to a short stitch length to stitch the curve around the neck.

Sandwich press the seam.

Press the seam open.

Trim the curved area around the neck to 1/8 inch.

Trim the rest of the seam to 1/4 inch.

Hold the scissors at an angle when you trim to help layer or grade the seam allowances or use "duckbill" scissors to help do this.

Sewing Tip: Always stagger the edges of seam allowances when they end up laying on top of each other in a finished garment.

Turn the vest right side out by pulling the fronts through the shoulders one side at a time.

Press well setting the seam lines exactly on the edge.

With right sides together, match the armhole seams and pin exactly through the stitching line to hold one on top of the other.

Stitch the side seams of both layers in one continuous step carefully walking the needle over the underarm pin.

Sandwich press the seam.

Press the seam open.

You may want to leave the full seam allowance here in case you have to let the vest out sometime.

Now, you have the bottom of the back open and about 2 inches on either side of the side seam toward the front.

Turn right sides together matching up the side seams. Put a pin exactly in the line of stitching in the side seams to hold one on top of the other.

Starting at one front side where you stopped stitching previously, stitch across the bottom until you come to about 2 inches from the next side seam pin and stop leaving about a 4 inch opening on that side.

Sandwich press the seam.

Press the seam open.

Press under the unstitched seam allowances as though they were stitched.

Trim and grade the seam allowances to about 1/4 inch.

Turn the vest right side out through the 4 inch opening at the side lower edge. This opening is better than having the opening in the middle of the center back. It isn't as noticeable.

Press well again.

At the opening, turn in and line up the edges.

To finish this opening, slip stitch it closed by hand or place a narrow strip of fusible web and fuse it closed.

If desired, topstitch the vest 1/4 inch from the edges.

Make buttonholes on both sides of the vest.

Sew 2 buttons together making a thread shank in between them. Use these double buttons through both buttonholes like cuff links. You can even use 2 different buttons as
long as they are the same size to fit through the holes.

Method II

Another method to finish your reversible vest is to sew each vest with shoulder seams and side seams.

Place the vests with wrong sides together.

Stitch 3/4 inch all around the armholes and the outer edges of the vest holding the 2 layers together.

Trim off 5/8 inch all around.

Bind all the outside edges either with self fabric, contrasting fabric, or a fold over trim or braid to finish.You can even use a decorative serged edge to finish the vest.

This is fast and easy!

It's your choice. You are the designer!

Enjoy your vest!

It just makes sense!

Family Feud - A Fun Game For Children Too

I was asked by Camp Med, a licensed day care program and summer camp sponsored by the City of South Pasadena, to give a presentation to our campers about the upcoming Summer Olympics, as I would be leaving for Beijing shortly to work on the Games. I thought if I just talk and the kids just listen, it could get kind of boring. So instead, I proposed an Olympic Family Feud.

The campers were divided into 4 groups. The winning group would each receive a prize. The way it worked is that I would ask a question and give one specific group a chance to respond. Unlike television Family Feud where only one person can participate, here anyone from the group could chip in. The team leader would then try to write down the best answer. If the answer was wrong, the question would move to the next group. If one group was noticeably weaker, they would get the easier questions.

What struck me is how engaged the kids got. You could see the wheels turning. They started thinking. They wanted to give the right answer. They wanted to win. They were having fun and so were the other counselors.

The questions asked required different skills, memory, reasoning and also listening (to what I had talked about throughout the summer). Due to the internet, it was very easy to come up with questions as multiple trivia, kids and information sites exist.

When I returned from the Olympics, the kids were very interested about my experience. It was as if the Olympic Family Feud had opened the door for them to be aware and interested in the Olympics. The event was such a success that we are following it up with a Halloween Family Feud. For Halloween Family Feud, more jokes and questions with an element of levity will be included. And there will be more questions that our younger kids can answer.

Sexy Halloween Fancy Dress Costumes - Tips For Women Past Their Teenage Years

It's a fact, Sexy Halloween Fancy Dress costumes are popular. Very Popular! A quick look at the costumes on offer in the online stores will immediately back up that statement. New sexy costumes are released every season.

Of course, when we think of a sexy Halloween costume we think of women wearing them. Although there are sexy costumes for men available, most of the costumes are designed for the fairer sex. Let's face if, as a women myself given the choice of a sexy Catwomen costume or an ugly witch costume complete with warts, huge nose and green face - the choice is easy. This may explain the influx of sexy witch costumes these days!

But what if you're not a teenager anymore? Does this automatically mean you cannot choose a sexy costume as a more mature women? Of course not, you just need to put a little more thought into it.

Here are 5 tips to consider when choosing your costume:

1. The costume you choose should feel comfortable to wear.

This is a tip a lot of women forget when they choose a costume. Uncomfortable bras or bones in strapless numbers can ruin your night. Panty hose or fishnets that are twisted or falling down are annoying. Constantly adjusting your costume is NOT sexy so be sure the costume fits you well.

2. You should feel comfortable WEARING the costume.

This one is often overlooked. It is important YOU feel comfortable in the costume. Is it too see-through for you, too short or too low cut? If you are too busy worrying if you are going to fall out of your top, you are not going to have a good night.

3. The costume should reflect who you are and your personality.

It's no good looking at Wonder Women costumes, if you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed being in that kind of persona. On the other hand, you may want to use this as an opportunity to break out of your usual life and go for something really outrageous! Just be sure you have enough self confidence to carry your costume off.

4. Take into account the color and fabric.

Your costume doesn't need to be flimsy or see-through to be sexy. Wearing a leather outfit, faux fur or leather look costumes can be sexy as well. Popular colors for costumes are often black and red but is sunshine yellow sexy? Maybe. Colors that match your complexion are also important. If red doesn't usually suit you then choose another color. Unless the costume really calls for it, choose a color that makes you look good!

5. Is it age appropriate?

Of course, being age appropriate should come into consideration as well. You may think dressing as Leila from Jonah Hex (played by Megan Fox) is a bit young for you, so try adapting the general look to suit your age. Saloon costumes are fun, after all corsets are always sexy no matter what your age. Or try a more mainstream but still quintessentially sexy look like Marilyn Monroe.

Some other ideas for those of us past our teenage years are:

Classic Flapper costume
Cowgirl costume - a perennial favorite
Nurses Costumes
Air Hostess costumes
A women sailor costume

Take your time making your Sexy Halloween Fancy Dress costume choices. Take my tips into account and you will have a wonderful Halloween.

Snow White Fancy Dress Costumes - 5 Different Snow White Outfit Suggestions For Your Costume Party

Snow White fancy dress costumes are a wonderful fairy-tale outfit that come in a number of different styles. The Snow White outfit is probably so popular due in part to our love of this exciting tale of jealousy, friendship and above all love, but also because the colours and styles that make up the Snow White fancy dress costumes are just so flattering to the women who wear them.

The classic story that we all know and love is another of the fairy tales that were collected by the Brothers Grimm. The fairy-tale was given a new lease of life in a 1912 Broadway play, but it was not until Disney's 1937 film that the story became so well known and popular worldwide.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is arguably Disney's finest hour and it is the Snow White outfit from that film that is instantly recognisable by us all and which forms the basis of most Snow White fancy dress costumes that you can buy today.

Of course, the title character is only one of many memorable characters from the story and below are five different outfit suggestions that you might want to consider wearing to the upcoming themed costume party.

The classic outfit

The classic outfit is nearly always based on the costume that the character wore in Disney's 1937 animated film and they are usually quite a faithful representation of it, especially when those outfits are made by Walt Disney themselves.

The sexy outfit

By far the most popular version of the iconic yellow, blue, and red outfit is the sexy version of the costume. These are usually based around a short mini dress with a laced up bodice and are pretty guaranteed to attract the attention of any Prince Charming present at the party.

The Halloween outfits

You can also get a range of Halloween costumes and two types in particular are very popular. Firstly, there is the scary Snow Fright type of outfit, which is supposed to portray the total opposite character of Snow White herself. Secondly, there are novelty costumes, which are often an hilarious version of the outfit that are worn by men.

The Evil Queen outfits

Another popular Halloween costume from the fairy-tale is of course the Evil Queen fancy dress outfit. The Wicked Queen costumes are usually based on the outfit that the character wore in Walt Disney's classic animated film, from 1937.

The Prince Charming outfits

The obvious choice for men who want to go to this type of themed party is of course a Prince Charming fancy dress costume. There are a number of different styles of Prince Charming costumes available from specialist online websites, all of which are excellent choices for your upcoming party.
