How to make a drawstring bag | Chica and Jo As I mentioned the other day in my hard candy jewels post, Jo and I have done a lot of projects for Little Jo’s birthday party this year. While I’m still not ready to tell you the theme (but soon, I promise!), I would like to show you another one of those projects. We’ve told you about drawstring bags before, like when we made 50 of them out of denim or when we showed you how to make a fur-lined velvet Santa bag, but since these goodie bags for the party were super simple, and the others had been more elaborate, I thought it was worth explaining the basic process again. First, figure out how big you want the finished bag to be, then use those measurements to determine how big to cut the fabric. For our bags, I cut a 15″x10″ piece of hot pink satin fabric for the outside of the bag, and another 15″x10″ piece of bright teal for the lining. Start by placing the two pieces of fabric right sides together, and pin along the top (widest) edge. Secure the pinched seam with a row of pins.

British History Online Project Runeberg The British Empire Yoga Basics Column - Up in Arms Prepare for inversions by strengthening your arms and core in Dolphin Pose. By Natasha Rizopoulos The act of going upside down, whether for a few breaths in a pose like Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) or for several minutes in a pose like Sirsasana (Headstand), can feel tremendously liberating. Inversions provide myriad physical, mental, and emotional benefits. But they also require strength, flexibility, and confidence about reversing your normal relationship to gravity, and those can take time to develop. Dolphin both opens and strengthens the upper body, making it a great preparation for inversions or a nice substitute posture when you're not ready to fly your legs above your head.

Europeana Erster Weltkrieg - World War I in pictures, letters and memories ΚΕΙΜΕΝΑ - Modern Greek literature online Στις σελίδες αυτές επιχειρώ να συγκεντρώσω τα νεοελληνικά λογοτεχνικά κείμενα που υπάρχουν στο Διαδίκτυο, ώστε να είναι εύκολη η πρόσβαση σ' αυτά. Αυτή η παρουσία οφείλεται στο μεράκι και στον κόπο κάποιων συμπατριωτών μας από ολόκληρο τον κόσμο -τα ονόματά τους αναφέρονται πιο κάτω, σε αυτούς ανήκει ο έπαινος και η ευθύνη. Η δική μου συμβολή όσον αφορά τα κείμενα αυτά ήταν απλώς και μόνο η συγκέντρωση των συνδέσμων. Παράλληλα όμως, πέρα από τη συγκέντρωση κειμένων που ήδη υπήρχαν, έχω αρχίσει να συμπληρώνω τον κατάλογο με άλλα κείμενα, τα οποία επιλέγω εγώ και που διατηρούνται σε αυτές εδώ τις σελίδες. 'Οπου δεν υπάρχει μνεία, το κείμενο έχει ανθολογηθεί από μένα. Προς το παρόν, και για ποικίλους τεχνικούς λόγους, απογράφονται μόνο κείμενα στην ελληνική γλώσσα, και όχι μεταφράσεις. Αν έχετε υπόψη σας κάποια άλλη θέση του Ιστού που να προσφέρει ελληνικά λογοτεχνικά κείμενα, σας παρακαλώ να με ενημερώσετε με μήνυμά σας για να την προσθέσω. Νίκος Σαραντάκος Γράψτε μου!
