How hard is it to replace the weatherstrip on an 85 Monte Carlo?
Or another GM coupe like it (Regal, Cutlass, etc). Just the window seal along the doors, not the lower seal between the doors and body. Is it glued down, or held by trim pieces?
I'm not a novice, I just haven't done this kind of job before and need to know about how much time it will take and if it's worth it.
i know on my 88 oldsmobile the weather stripping has plastic clips and also glued.
How To Recycle Your Old Clothing With Trims
Bored of your old clothes? Think their ‘out of fashion', dull and boring? But don't want to spend all your cash on clothes? An easy way to transform them old out-of-date items is by giving them a new look by using trims.
A trim is a decorative item used on garments by top designers, high street brands and blossoming DIY fashion designers (such as you) to give the piece of clothing a more ornate and interesting look. You may have seen them on tops, skirts and dresses as a long decorative strip of material or beads on the end seams of a dress or skirt or on cufflinks. They can, however, be placed anywhere on a garment.
You can find trims for every design need as they are made from a variety of materials, come in different colours, shapes, widths, lengths and have different patterns. Popular materials for trims include:
*lace, *beads, *sequins, *velvet, *satin, *suede, *cotton, *feathers; and *Metallic fibres.
Each material can be used to create a particular fashionable effect, depending on what you are looking for. For instance, chunky beads carefully placed on the collar of a garment exude that boho chic look, whilst a lace trim on the bottom of a dress or skirt will ooze of class. So when looking for a trim, opt for a trim that suits your taste, style and garment. Finding trims should not be hard as a venture to your local haberdashery or crafts store, should show up with some results. However, if you do want a massive choice, go online and find Trim factories, who supply trims to the entire fashion industry and private clients.
After finding your trims, it's time to attach them to your garment. Usually, the best method is to pin them to the garment precisely and then hand sew them on using small stitches. Opt for a small needle and similar coloured thread for the best results.
If you are interested in trims for your garments, whether you're a big high street brand or a DIY designer, visit www.trimfactory.co.uk for more information on trims, necklaces, bangles, corsages, brooches and belts we have on sale at a competitive price.
