Marcia's Minute
Well, summer as we know it in Texas is finally
here, and if you're in need of some light-weight
cotton fashions to endure the heat in, make sure
you take advantage of the fantastic selection of
summer dresses, skirts, and blouses that are on
clearance!
Additionally, a great way to freshen up your
summer wardrobe is to accessorize, and that
includes shoes! This month, we're giving you a
newsletter special that is certain to breathe
new life into your closet: 15% off the first
pair of San Miguel sandals, and 20% off any
additional pairs! Make sure you come in before
the end of the month to take advantage of it!
While you're at it, pick up this month's copy of
Tribeza. They've dedicated the whole August
issue to our wonderful Clarksville neighborhood
and the businesses within. It's very exciting
for us to see all of the new people that are
discovering daily our wonderful little
village-within-the-center-of-the-city. Make sure
you check out the editorial on page 83 and the
entire article on El Interior on page 103, and
next time you're downtown, stop into the
neighborhood to see what's new!
Saludos,
Marcia Lucas

Can you sew
oilcloth? Are there any guidelines to use?
Patty
Thank
you for your question Patty! Oilcloth can be sewn
using a size 16 sharp needle on your machine. If you
are going to sew it by hand, use nice heavy duty
needle and a thimble. To strengthen your seams, you
may want to seal them with a bead of silicone glue
(available at most art supply or hardware stores).
Silicone glue dries clear and flexible.
However, one of wonderful qualities of oilcloth is
that the raw edges will not unravel or fray. If you
are doing a tablecloth you can just cut a nice
straight edge, or use pinking shears for a slightly
decorative edge.
Show us your
project or collection! We'd love to feature
YOU in an upcoming issue, so email us a project that
you've done using our textiles, oilcloth, or your
folk art collection, at
amy@elinterior.com.
Also, we'd love to get your
comments or questions, so submit them to the
El Interior Mailbag to be featured in future
issues of our newsletters! |
