I have a sweatshirt that I want to shrink because it`s big... I know the method... washing in hot water than drying..... But I don`t know will it be permanent? Or would it stretch back to normal?

I am trying to turn the edges of the material (chiffon or georgette)- does anyone have any idea what gadget to use for this and how to use it? I can't manage to get the material through the hemmer! Thanks.

I have a light beech-coloured laminate floor,
My curtains and storage boxes are dark brown,
I also have some seagrass baskets,
My bedcovers are black and white flowers
I currently have light blue walls because I was going for the surfery look with my floors too, but I have a lot of gothicy Victoriany burlesquey items like dressing table and mirrors.
I was thinking a deep purple, any other suggestions?

What wood is best to use that I could paint on with just normal matte emulsion type paint, and do you know where I could get a cheapy wardrobe, except ebay?

After sowing the grass seed i very lightly raked the soil - but the seeds are still on the surface and visible. Will this stop the seeds germinating and the grass from growing or should i put a thin layer of topsoil over the seeds? The grass is meant to start growing within 7 days but the seeds have not changed at all? The soil has been watered well. Any ideas?

one of the travertine tiles on our kitchen floor is wobbling. How can I stop this? Do I have to lift the tile and if so exactly how do I go about this? ...lifting it and re -laying it?
