In this era of dwindling
energy supplies and lower
thermostat settings, today’s
seamstress has an edge on
the rest of the population.
They can use their talents to
create warm clothing and
energy-saving home fur
nishings for themselves and
their families-and save
money in the bargain.
For example, kits now on
the market contain all the
materials needed to make an
insulated outdoor garment
such as a ski parka or a
backpacker vest. Other kits
include materials for
making b|b overalls,
sleeping bags, down-filled
comforters, even tents!
Several companies
manufacture these kits,
which are sold through retail
outlets and by mail.
The kits are unique
because they contain no
patterns. Everything is pre
cut and pre-marked, so
careful body measurements
for clothing items are im
portant.
Sewing an item from a kit
usually results in a 20 to 25
percent saving over the
retail cost of a comparable

ready-made item. It’s also a
great way to spend a cold
winter evening!
Several sewing notions
companies have free
brochures available with
instructions for making
home furnishings that help
beat the cold; lap robes,
drapery liners, draft
stoppers for the bottoms of
doors, quilts and braided
rugs. Major pattern com
panies also feature quilts
which can be machine sewn
in less than half the time it
took your grandmother.
Patterns are now
available for ski parkas,
pants, overalls, leg warmers
and other previously un
sewable garments. Sewing
techniques have been
simplified on these patterns
so that inexperienced sewers
can stitch up a garment and
have it ready to wear in no
time at all!
The need to keep warm
has also increased the
popularity of knitting and
crocheting. New patterns
and yarns are tempting do
it-yourselfers to create
scarves, hats, mittens,
sweaters, afghans and other
times. Many yarns are easy
care as well as very durable,

and there are many ap
propriate new fabrics
treated to resist rain and
snow.
When the wind howls and
the snow blows, try creating
a made-to-order garment or
furnishings for your home.
You’ll stay warmer just
thinking about it! ,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES:
ARE THEY WORTH
ANYTHING
Most consumers think of
warranties as the cer
tificates that comes with
many products they Jauy.
These should be filed along
with the sales slip, in case a
warranty claim needs to be
made.
But { what about products
that have no warranty? Do
you have any rights if the
product -doesn’t perform?
Yes you do. Implied
warranties come
automatically with every
sale, even though they are
not written out.
These warranties are
called “merchantability”
and “fitness of purpose.”
Merchantability means that
you have a legal'right to get
what you paid for. If you
open the box with your new
food processor and find the
blades missing, or you find a
set of mixing bowls instead,
your implied warranty says
that the merchant must take
back what’s in the box and
give you your food processor
complete with working
parts.
Fitness for purpose means
that you can expect the
product to do what it’s
supposed to do. A vacuum
cleaner should get the lint
and litter off your carpets. A
lawn mower should cut the
grass.
A seller can’t give you a
written warranty that ab
solves him from honoring
the implied warranties. If

you get the implied
warranties. The only way a
seller can get out of the
implied warranties is to
state in writing that the
product is being sold “as is.”
If a product is being offered
“as is” be sure you find out
why before you buy.
