Summarize the following:
Pull out the sides of the sweater to see how large it is and decide how closely you want it to fit your form. By pinching the fabric, you’ll determine where to start your seam when you turn the sweater inside out. A sweater made of any material can be altered. Knit sweaters don’t have seam allowances but turning one inside out to find the seam is where you start when altering it. This inside seam is the one you’ll be taking in when altering the sweater.  Make sure the sweater is pressed completely flat and symmetrical on a table, so it’s not altered crooked. Use chalk to draw a line on the sweater where you will be making the seams. This will make it easier to remember where to put the pins. Take in about 1 to 1⁄2 in (2.5 to 1.3 cm) on the side of the sweater, depending on how big it is. Starting at the armpit, or whichever part is too big, stick several pins along each side of the sweater to mark where the seam will be. To make an accurate seam allowance, use the seam guide on your sewing machine. Most sewing machines come with 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) seam guide. Measure it with a tape measure and put pins where you want the seam to be. When you sew the seam, keep the pins in place to sew it evenly. Set the sewing machine to make a dart or zig-zag stitch for a neat and flexible seam allowance on the sweater. Sew along the edge where you stuck the pins as placeholders. Remove the pins as you sew. Stop sewing just before the ribbing or hem of your sweater to prevent an odd flip out of fabric at the bottom. Make sure you measure both sides equally. Measure the seam allowance and mark the new seam with chalk. Line up the pins to hold fabric in place. Sew with a dart or zigzag stitch on the sewing machine. Hold the sweater up in front of you to see if it looks even and try it on for the fit. If the sweater has buttons down the front, button it up to make sure it fits all the way around your torso. Look at yourself wearing the sweater in the mirror to see if it looks as though it fits right. If not, repeat the process.

summary: Put your sweater on and pinch the excess fabric with your fingers. Turn your sweater inside out to make the side seam. Make a seam allowance using pins. Take in 1 to 1⁄2 in (2.5 to 1.3 cm) on each side of the sweater. Sew along the edges of the sweater to make the seam. Sew a seam on the other side of the sweater. Flip the sweater right side out and try it on.


Summarize the following:
In some cases, the divisor will be larger than the first number of the dividend and you will not be able to divide. In this case, you will divide into the first two numbers of the dividend. For example, 567/7. In this case, 7 doesn’t go into 5, but it does go into 56 eight times. When solving this problem, write the first number of the quotient over the 6 instead of the 5 and continue solving. The final answer is 81. This is similar to the first special case, except this time, you will put a zero in the middle of the quotient. If you encounter a problem like this, simply write a zero in the quotient, and try dividing with the next two numbers in the dividend until the number can be divided. For example, 3208/8, 8 goes into 32 four times, but does not go into 0. You would add a 0 and then divide into the next number. 8 goes into 8 one time, therefore, the solution would be 401. The best way to understand short division is practicing with many different types of problems. Below are a few more examples for you to try out.  Divide 748 by 2. How many times can 2 go into 7? Three with a remainder of 1. Write 1 next to the 4. How many times can 2 go into 14? Seven times, evenly. Two goes into 8 four times, evenly; therefore, the final answer is 374. Divide 368 by 8. Eight doesn’t fit into 3, but it does divide into 36. Eight fits into 36 four times with a remainder of 4 (8 x 4 = 32, 36 - 32 = 4). Write the 4 next to the 9. Eight can go into 48 six times, evenly; therefore, the final answer is 46. Divide 1228 by 4. Four doesn’t fit into 1, but it does fit into 12 three times, evenly. Four does not fit into 2, so you must add a zero in the quotient and divide four into 28. Four fits into 28 seven times; therefore, the final answer is 307.

summary: Recognize that the divisor may not go into the first number of the dividend. Add a zero in the quotient if the divisor does not go into the dividend. Practice with some more examples.

Many writers, photographers, web designers, and graphic designers can do their work from anywhere in the world as long as they have an Internet connection. There are online companies recruiting people with these types of skills. Be wary of anyone asking for money. There are plenty of legitimate companies hiring freelancers. Be prepared to bid for freelance work or possibly get paid a bit less than if you worked in the same job at an office. Ask your current employer if you might be able to start working from home (if that’s possible for your type of work). If they say yes, then you may be able to start traveling and completing your work while you’re on the road. Most work-from-home jobs allow employees to complete the bulk of their work online or to submit their work from another location. You don’t have to stay home to work from home. If you have web design and writing skills, you may start blogs or content-based websites that generate passive income through advertising and referral programs. This takes a bit of a time investment upfront, but once the site is established and active, it may generate returns. Start these sites while traveling or better yet, get them up and running before you go. Sites that are generating money will need maintenance and content updates once you are on the road. Advertisers usually make direct deposits into your bank account. Depending on your home country, there may be restrictions or limitations to getting paid, so be sure you have access to the money you earn before you begin your travels. Become a travel consultant, importer, or zip-line installer. Find a need for your specific services and skills, then market them in a way that makes sense for you and gives you the freedom you desire from your work. For example, engineers might start a business building zip-lines or obstacle courses for resorts around the world. Travel buffs can offer their services to corporations sending employees on international travel. If you love to shop, set up an importing business and next time you travel get inventory for resale.
summary: Get a freelance job. Start working from home. Figure out how to earn passive income. Start your own business.
