Article: Get a large piece of the same material you used for the pants or two smaller pieces and lay them so that the print sides are facing each other. Then, place your tank top on the two layers of material. There is no pattern for the top, but the tank top will help you to cut the material in the right size and shape. Start by pinning along the edges of the armholes and neckline for the hem. You will need to hem the neckline and armholes twice. Fold over about ½ of an inch (or 1 ½ cm) of material once, then pin it into place and sew along these lines.  Then, remove the pins and fold over the material to create another ½ of an inch (or 1 ½ cm) hem. Pin and sew this hem as well.

Double up the material and position the tank top. Hem the edges of the tank top neck and armholes.
Article: Consider using two or three colors instead of incorporating every color you can imagine. Some of the most successful protest signs use a very limited color palete, so think about which two or three colors will work best for your message and keep it simple. Artist Lorraine Schneider designed a protest sign with only yellow, orange and black. The sign included an image of a fragile flower and read ‘War is not healthy for children and other living things.’ It became famous during the Vietnam War protests. If you are feeling ambitious or are more artistically inclined, you could try mixed media or even three dimensional designs. Foamcore tends to work better for attaching three dimensional objects to the surface of a protest sign. For instance, you could attach a three dimensional globe to a foamcore poster at a climate justice protest. If you are in a rush, you could always download an existing poster design. Some organizations involved in the protest you are attending may have some preexisting poster designs available on their websites. You could also alter an existing poster design with your own text. Lean your sign against a wall. Walk back ten or twenty feet and see if you can read it. If you can’t read it from a distance, the text may be too small. If you can’t discern the symbols on your sign, you may want to make them larger. You could also ask a friend to hold your sign up when testing for legibility. Depending on the message you are trying to convey, you may want to add some decorations. Glitter, sparkles and other eye catching decorations can help to make your protest sign more attractive.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Limit your color palete. Try mixed media. Download an existing poster design. Look at the sign from a distance to check readability. Add decorations.
Article: An emollient is a skin-softening preparation that you can purchase over-the-counter at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Examples include petroleum jelly (Vasoline), or other thick creams that your doctor or dermatologist may recommend. It is best to apply an emollient to your psoriasis lesions right after a shower or bath.  You can also make your own emollients at home, using ingredients such as cocoa butter, almond butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax among other things. One example is to mix 4 ounces of cocoa butter, 4 ounces of almond butter, and 2 ounces of shaved beeswax. Use heat to mix the ingredients together, then place them in a heat-proof container and let them cool before use. Another example is to mix 4 ounces of extra virgin olive oil with 2 ounces of coconut oil, 1 ounce of vitamin E oil, and 1 ounce of shaved beeswax. Again, mix the ingredients with heat so that they meld together, then put them in a heat-proof container and let the mixture cool before use. Other thick moisturizers that you can use to treat psoriasis include Eucerin cream and Cetaphil cream. Products labeled as "lotions" are not good enough emollients — look for creams. A corticosteroid cream or ointment functions by suppressing the immune response at the area of the psoriatic lesions. When you apply it over the affected areas, it brings down the inflammation. It can help resolve (or at least improve) psoriasis flares in the shortest amount of time possible.  There are various strengths (potencies) of corticosteroids that you can get. A simple hydrocortisone cream of 0.5% or 1% can be purchased over-the-counter at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Your doctor will need to prescribe stronger corticosteroid creams. You can also get shampoos containing corticosteroids if you have psoriasis lesions on your scalp. When applying steroids, apply to the affected area only.  Do not use a topical steroid for more than three weeks at a time without consulting a physician.  Do not use steroid cream around the eyes. Refrain from abrupt discontinuation of the medication. Potential side effects of steroids include skin thinning, changes in pigmentation, easy bruising, and stretch marks. Calcipotriene or calcitriol are both related to vitamin D and have been proven to be effective in the treatment of psoriasis. These topical preparations can work well with corticosteroids, and you usually need to apply them twice per day. Speak to your doctor to obtain a prescription, and for specific dosing instructions depending upon the severity of your psoriasis. Other topical treatments that you can use to treat psoriasis flare ups include tar, tazarotene, calcineurin inhibitors, and anthralin. These are not typically first-line treatments, but are reserved for cases that are unresponsive to other treatments. Consult your physician if you are interested in receiving a prescription for one of these other topical treatments for psoriasis.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use an emollient. Try a topical corticosteroid. Opt for vitamin D derivatives. Consider other topical treatments.
