  How to Measure Women, Juniors & GirlsTo start, get a measuring tape. Remember to keep it snug and straight while you're using it — to get a more accurate fit.ApparelTo find your size, measure around the bustline, waist, hips and inseam. Write down your results as you go.Bust/Chest — Put the measuring tape under your arms to measure around the fullest part of your bustline.Waist — Measure around your natural waistline. This is the narrowest part of your torso, usually near your belly button.Hips — Put your legs together and measure around the widest point of your hip area.Inseam — For this measurement, it's best to use a pair of pants that fit you well. Lay them flat and measure the inseam (the inner leg seam), from the top to the cuff.LingerieBras — To get an accurate bra size, you'll need to make two measurements: chest and bust.Chest — Wrap the tape under your arms and around your chest, above your bust. Make sure the tape is snug but not pressing into your flesh. If you get an odd number, add 1.Bust/Chest — Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. If you prefer, wear a good-fitting brassiere, for this will help you get a more accurate measurement.Underwear — To get an accurate underwear size, you'll need to make two measurements: waist and hips.Waist — Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.Hips — Measure around the widest part of your hips.MaternityPlease order Maternity garments in your regular size. While our Maternity items are specially designed to accommodate your pregnancy, your size will not change.

 How to Measure Men & BoysTo start, first get a measuring tape. Remember to keep it snug and straight while you're using it — to get a more accurate fit.To find your size, measure around the neck, chest, waist and inseam. Write down your results as you go.Neck — Measure around the base of your neck, which is its widest part.Chest — Put the tape under your arms and measure around the widest part of your chest.Sleeve — First, raise your arm and bend it in front of you, parallel to your chest. Then, measure from the center of your back, just under the neck, around the elbow and to the wristbone. This is a tricky measurement to do alone, so it's best to get someone else to take care of this one for you.Waist — Measure around your natural waistline. This is the narrowest part of your torso, usually near your belly button.Inseam — For this measurement, it's best to use a pair of pants that fit you well. Lay them flat and measure the inseam (the inner leg seam), from the top to the cuff.

 Directions for Measuring
You'll need a measuring tape to begin. Remember to keep it snug and straight while you're using it — to get a more accurate fit.
Length - Place foot on a piece of paper and mark the toe's and heel's outermost points with a pen or pencil. Measure the distance between the two points. Subtract 1/8" to compensate for the thickness of the pen or pencil.
Ball - Place a measuring tape over the ball joint on the inside of the foot. Pull firmly "not too tight" across on a slightly backward angle to the ball joint of the little toe.
Instep - Place the measuring tape over the instep bone and straight around the bone on the outside of the foot.

Strawberry Freezer Jam

      

Rating:

(1 vote) 5 1

A great recipe for during the summer when strawberries are in a surplus, and then in December you'll still have fresh jam in your freezer.




  • Ingredients
  • 2 C. crushed strawberries
  • 4 C. sugar
  • 3/4 C. water
  • 1 1 3/4 oz. box powdered fruit pectin

Directions


Crush strawberries or process in blender until you have small pieces. Place in large bowl, stir in sugar, mixing well. In a saucepan bring water and pectin to a boil and boil one minute, stirring constantly. Stir into fruit mixture and continue stirring 2 minutes to dissolve most of the sugar. Ladle into freezer glasses or containers; cover with lids. Let stand until set, about 24 hrs. Store in freezer up to 1 year.
Yield: 5 1 cup glasses
