How do you repair a torn knee on a pair of jeans?

It really depends on the size of the tear. There are patches made out of denim which may be ironed on that are easily found. You could also make your own cute patch out of a favorite fabric, back it with heat and bond "light", iron it on the outside of the jeans then sew around the edges with regular thread or a decrative thread. If you use the regular heat and bond or extra hold, you will not need to sew the edges as it is strong enough to stay in place without stitching, plus the needle will gum up if you try to sew through it. Use your imagination and have fun.

How do you make fireproof fabric?

Paper can be made fireproof by dipping it in a saturated solution of alum in water for about 2-5 minutes and then removing it, drying and repeating the procedure 2-3 times.

People claim that it has no effect on its quality but crystals of alum do prove to be a problem when writing on it. The paper also becomes a bit brittle.

The paper cannot be made hundred percent fireproof but the method works to some extent.

I suggest you simply keep the paper safe from any fire hazards.

The width of the stitch is controlled when sewing with an alternative stitch, such as a zigzag.
