How to Make Tapestries (part 2 of 2)


Before you begin with your needle, make sure the edges of the canvass are framed. You can do this by  putting masking tape on the edges or hemming it with a sewing machine. So you don’t have a hard time taking it out. It will be best to use the first option.

If you are still having a hard time, use a tapestry frame as this will hold the canvas and prevent the design from being distorted.

It is normal to feel tired after working on the pattern for hours. If you feel tired, stop, take a break and then continue work after you have rested. Always look at your work and the drawing so you know you are right on track with what you are doing.

One of the most challenging aspects of making a tapestry is the ending which is known as blocking. Yes we have used a tapestry frame to keep the design from being distorted but most of the time, this will still happen.

To fix this, dampen the canvas with some water and pin the corners to the desired shape and leave it for a few hours. When you come back, it will look exactly just like the picture which you have used as a blueprint.

Making a tapestry is not easy and it is going to take a lot of patience. Before you make a big one, perhaps you should start first with a small one and see how well you perform.

Remember, this is a just a hobby so there is no deadline when this will be finished. Just have fun and the rest will follow because you are sure to perform better when you are relaxed. After a few weeks or months, you can step back and be proud knowing that you did a splendid job making your first ever tapestry.

How to Make Tapestries (part 1 of 2)


Tapestries have been done for years. If you are considering taking this up as a hobby and making one, here are a few tips to get you started.

First, decide is what type and size of tapestry do you want to make. When we say type, we are referring to the theme of the tapestry, the fabric that will be used and how this will be mounted. As for size, we are talking about how big it will be since this will be displayed in one part of the house.

Next, there are two ways to make tapestry. You can sew this by hand or with the help of a sewing machine. If this is small, sure you can do this by hand but you should also take into consideration whether this will be trimmed or not and what fabric you will be using.

One you have decided, the only thing to do is prepare the materials. If you don’t have them, purchase this from the craft store. To check if you have everything you need, lay it out and do a last minute check.

Craftsmen in the past had an idea what they wanted to make so you should do the same and the best way to do that is to come up with a drawing and then use this as a guide. This should be done patiently so you avoid making any mistakes and it doesn’t matter whether you are doing this by hand or with the help of a machine.

Skydiving Schools and What you Should Know (part 2 of 2)


Making it back on the ground safely is not the only basis to say that you are on your way to getting your license. Most skydiving schools offer videos so they can show you what happened. If there are any mistakes, you can take note of it so this will not happen again.

As added safety measure for those who are new to this extreme sport, most skydiving schools attach a computerized automatic activation device to your parachute in the event that you have not yet opened your parachute.

Skydiving only lasts about a minute before you have to deploy the parachute. Aside from teaching how to do deploy it, the skydiving school will also teach you how to steer your parachute as it takes 4 to 5 minutes to get back on the ground. You will also learn how to land softly so you don’t sprain an ankle or get a bruise.

The parachute that you deploy when you go skydiving is reusable. This means you don’t have to buy a new one so all you have to do is know how to pack it. That is also another lesson you will learn in skydiving school because a good skydiver should also learn how to take care of their own equipment.

One thing that skydiving school will not be able to teach you is to get rid of your fear jumping from an aircraft. Yes it is scary the first time and a few more after that but if you are able to suck it up, you will be able to enjoy the experience.

Who knows? This may even encourage you to join this sport regularly and not a recreational activity.

Skydiving Schools and What you Should Know (part 1 of 2)


If you want to skydive, you have to learn a few things before make the jump and what better place to learn this is in a skydiving school or center.

There are skydiving schools spread out in the US. You can find one by looking for it using the web. From there, you can visit them and ask about their rates.

People who are new to skydiving cannot jump from a plane by themselves. They have to undergo ground training first and jump with an instructor. The most common example is tandem skydiving where the instructor is strapped to the back of the newbie and they make the jump. The newbie does not do anything except enjoy the view until they reach the ground.

For those who want become a licensed skydiver, the next step is to learn how to jump off a plane and then pulling the cord. Before you can do that, you will be introduced to static line jumping where your backpack is attached to a cord that will automatically deploy your parachute once you get off the plane.

After a few jumps, you will now pull a cord that does not activate anything but simulate the release of the parachute. Once you have completed, you will now do the real thing.

But if you want to skip that and get your skydiver’s license, you can do so by enrolling the AFF or the accelerated free fall. After jumping off the plane and free falling for about 50 seconds, you will deploy your parachute then slowly make it to the ground. This program is much cheaper in the long run and more fun compared to the static line method.
