I happened across your website while doing some insomnia-induced surfing. LOVE IT! You've kept me occupied for hours! :) Anyway, just a thought...we have 2 cats and their collars have a break-away mechanism so they don't get strangled if their collars get caught on something. If you are still looking for a device for your keychains, maybe you can check out some cat collars! OK, now I'm hooked on your website! THANKS!!! :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Hi Lisa!

Lady M...great idea...post the info on Fabric Hound. So many designers are using long drawstrings on their girls' sets, too. It's a recipe for disaster...KWIM? Carole...there aren't any regulations on sashes...although there should be. But it might have to do with the fact that they are special occassion dresses most of the time...not clothing that would be worn to school or on a playground. Hey Tiff!!! Saskia..use a big safety pin and rethread the strings back through the shorts. Then sew a stitch to secure the stitch at the center back waistband to prevent it from happening again...HTH With friendship, Lisa Waving to my Sue Monster!

I have another problem I was hoping you could shed some light on! When the shoe string goes into the drawstring waist or hood how can one get it back out? I just laundered some new shorts of my husband and three now have one long string on one end only! Yipes! Do I have to get rid of the shorts? I sappose we should have tied knots in the ends before laundering! Thanks for any help you can give me here! Saskia Bartlett Dear Domestic Diva,

I wish I had your drive and ambition. This post got me thinking about waist sashes on little girl's dresses. I love to finish a dress off with a big beautiful sash, are there any regulations for that? Best of luck to you on your new venture! You are a wealth of information.
