Made from 8" squares of serged flannel. We have used these daily for years. They have held up great and wash beautifully clean! :-)
My first shirt was a moderate success. I didn't use a pattern, there is no lining and I started off planning to make a dress, but eh. The hems are straight and there is some symmetry, so I'm counting myself lucky.
(And yes, I know this is impractical given the fact it is 10 degrees outside. This was mostly a "see if fits" session, but it could be layered with a turtleneck. That seems easier than figuring out how to sew sleeves.)

Surveyors reusable magnetic reflective retro targets. Designed and produced in the UK drawing on 26 years of Surveying experience. Ideal for any Total Station. 25mm precision made, with multiple applications. They are made from the highest quality 3M diamond grade film, which increases the measuring distance to 200m+ in HDS or reflective tape mode. They can be attached to any ferrous metal surface in a large variety of ways for measuring with all total station instruments with a 12.5 mm height offset and a precise 1 mm forward offset. these innovatively designed targets can be attached to Hilti nails, PK nails, steel pins, steel bolts and steel columns.They can be mounted vertically, horizontally and even upside down.They can be used to traverse with, instead of leaving your expensive traverse kit on foresight / backsight control point, reduces height mis- measuring errors. Ideal for radiating shots , therefore reducing the need to move your tripods around. They are ideal for monitoring points from a baseline , as they can be measured from 2 different positions without needing to move them as they are double sided. They are available in packs of 5.

Reuse of existing tooling is fairly common in toylines, and of course the Binaltech/Alternators line of Transformers was no exception. While I've look at some blatant repaints such as the multiple colours of Meister/Jazz, Tracks, and Smokescreen/Silverstreak/Ricochet, lets look back at a slightly more innocent reuse, Swindle.
I imagine because of the expensive development costs, Takara/Hasbro probably wanted to reuse whatever they could, whenever they could, from the Binaltech/Alternators line. So to squeeze more life of the tooling, Takara/Hasbro started releasing different characters using the same bodies but different heads, the first of many being Swindle here.
Swindle the G1 character, was also a Jeep, albeit yellow, that formed a leg of Bruticus. Clearly this figure doesn't combine with anything, and is simply a repainted Hound with a different head.
The Jeep Wrangler alt mode was probably the first Binaltech/Alternator vehicle to not feature that nifty steering rack, but rather there is a "working suspension" where the wheels are attached to springs that mimic the workings of shocks. Being the Binaltech version, the figure, and by extension vehicle mode, are painted a lovely mustard yellow giving it that authentic automotive showroom sheen.
Perhaps one of the more annoying realities of this reuse is that literally anything they could would be reused, including that laughably small gun that Hound came with. I believe the only reuse figure to ever come with a new weapon was the 2004 WRX version of Smokescreen, only available in the Binaltech line.
As with other Binaltechs, the Jeep Wranger features detailed interiors and working doors - again, meticulous detail has been included to allow these vehicles to compete with the trust 1:24 scale models. Those with sharp eyes will notice that the engine block is not the gun, which is usually the case for these releases. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, I believe this and Ravage (the Jaguar mold) are the only ones with separate weapons not of the engine variety.
Transformation yields a chunky robot with limited articulation, stubby arms and awkward shoulders... a pattern that generally fits all figures in the line with the exception of Sideswipe/Lambor, who has awkward shoulders AND awkward feet. The added bonus of this robot mode is that the chest cavity is obviously empty.. there is no guess work involved. Couple that with the Noisy Cricket that is included, and you get a really goofy looking robot.
Oh well.. at least it's pretty looking
Students from Heidelberg Middle School learn about composting at the Heidelberg Reuse Center April 23. The class toured the recycling center before heading into the reuse center's learning area, where they learned about composting and how to make paper from recycled paper. Classes came to the center during Earth Week to focus on earth friendly practices.
