...HARVEY: People who see us say we look happier and younger. We feel good that we can do all the cool things we want to do.... In one week, we had a party in New York where the Eagles performed to celebrate Wal-Mart's commitment to environmental sustainability, then we opened Bobby with a star-studded premiere in Hollywood. We've taken periodic odysseys across America and internationally to build partnerships with RAI Television in Italy and TF1 in France and ARD in Germany. We're laying down an infrastructure...

Others are joining virtual sewing circles on the Internet, in which strangers exchange tips on the best hem styles and where to find inexpensive fabric. (Try Wal-Mart for prices starting at $6 a yard.) New books--such as Sew Subversive by the founders of Stitch Lounge in San Francisco and the upcoming S.E.W.: Sew Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp, due out next year--give step-by-step instructions for all kinds of projects, from making a raincoat...
