Hi there, Science Freya here again!
Science Freya
I’ve always wondered why litter sacks were stitched, and had this idea that there must be an easy way to open them.
So I did a little research, and discovered there is a very easy way to open them! So I’m going to show you. There are two sides to the stitching. The rough side:
And the smooth side:
Stand at the side of the sack, with the smooth side on the left, and the rough side on the right. (This is important!)
We’re interested in the smooth side. With your claws, or you can use Scissors if your claws aren’t sharp, you want to cut the first 3 loops.
When you’ve cut the first 3 loops, then you can pull both sides strings gently and equally, and they should come out easily. If you pull too hard, they might snag, but you’ll get the hang of it if you’re gentle at first.
Hey Presto! Toodle Pip and Tally Ho! (I’m an English cat, you know) – The bag comes easily unstitched!
Once the bag is open, if you have a pesky younger brother, you can let him play with it too, and that might keep him occupied for five minutes.
And that’s it! It’s easy when you know how!
This is when I was woozy on the pre-med before the operation.
