HOW TO SHORTEN and HEM PANTS with a Sewing Machine – Fast & Easy

I am going to show you how to shorten and hem pants with Singer sewing machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). It is fast and simple to do. With the need to return to the office, I bought 9 pairs of new wrinkle free performance pants ( https://amzn.to/3HXnQqo ) , however they are too long for me. I needed to shorten and hem them but my local shop was closed.

In this video my Mom taught me how to shorten and hem pants in the fast and easy way using aThread Kit for Sewing ( https://amzn.to/3leLqoN ) and her Singer sewing machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). It takes about 20 minutes per pair of pants to shorten. The first one took an hour learning.

My girlfriend got a Cat Scratching BALL ( https://amzn.to/3riAsmd ) and it saved my Couch from being a scratching post.

The cats used to scratch the couch leg as it resembled a scratching post. By getting a round scratching ball they tend to avoid the area all together. They dont scratch the ball or the couch anymore. Perhaps its the shape?

We leave Cat Scratching BALL ( https://amzn.to/3riAsmd ) next to the couch and it deters them from scratching the couch. We are keeping it cuz it seems to be working for the past 2 months. The cats still use other scratching posts, just not this ball or the couch. Overall its a success!

Overall its looks modern and deters the cats so we are keeping it. Even if they don’t play with it.

REVIEW: ALLPOWERS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel with my JACKERY Explorer 240 Power Station.

I bought an ALLPOWERS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3COOcqN ) for my Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ). I am going to review it in this video.

Stuff in this Video:
ALLPOWERS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3COOcqN )
ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa )
Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )

My Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) is light and compact to bring with you during camping or off the grid. Its convenient and has AC outlet, USB ports for fast charging, and a 12 volt socket . Charging takes about 5-7hours depending of method. With the included AC or 12 volt car charger it charges at 62 Watts and is fully charged in about 5 hours. I wanted to charge it while camping using solar so i bought a ALLPOWERS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3COOcqN ) .

According to Jackery’s manual it can only charge at about 60 Watts max, so buying a 60 Watt portable solar panel seemed like a great idea. Generally the more solar panel wattage the larger your panels will be depending on how its packaged. I wanted something light and compact and had a max charge of 60 watts so i dont damage my Jackery Explorer 240.

The ALLPOWERS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3COOcqN ) works fine on the Jackery 240. I got about 30-40 watts in full sun which was expected as the the manual says it would take about 7 hours to charge using a 60W solar panel.

I generally follow the sun during camping. Moving the panel from my car’s windshield, to the car roof, then to the rear window and trunk, while camping and get a good 4-5 hours of charging in. There are eye holes to hang or tie down the panel as well. I have the Jackery Power station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in my car when charging and just have the wire go into my door weather strip.

Pros:

  • Compatible with other power stations.
  • Compact simple single fold.
  • Good / expected charging speed for solar.
  • Light weight.
  • Two USB charging ports .
  • Can add additional solar panels.

    Cons:
  • Solar Controller USB ports stick out side of the bag zipper.
  • May need a chair or car to act as a stand to follow the sun.

Overall ALLPOWERS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3COOcqN ) a good performer and gets the job done. I would have wanted a solar panel kit that produces closer to the 60W output, however that would mean getting a larger 100 W solar panel for the future.
