1 . A method of securing an apparatus to an article of clothing wherein the apparatus comprises a body portion having a first clothing receiving opening and a second clothing receiving opening, the method comprising:
 gathering material of the clothing together and inserting the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening from a back side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening; and   inserting the pulled portion of the gathered material through the second clothing receiving opening from a front side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the second clothing receiving opening.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein gathering material of the clothing together comprising gathering enough material to lift the article of clothing from the floor or ground. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a horizontal position. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a vertical position. 
     
     
         5 . A method of securing an apparatus to an article of clothing wherein the apparatus comprises a body portion having a first side, a second side, and a curved member extending from and raised above a portion of the first side of the body portion thereby forming a thru bore having a first opening and a second opening on opposing ends, the method comprising:
 gathering material of the clothing together and inserting the gathered material through a first opening of the thru bore; and   pulling gathering material through the thru bore and thru the second opening of the thru bore.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein gathering material of the clothing together comprising gathering enough material to lift the article of clothing from the floor or ground. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a horizontal position. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a vertical position. 
     
     
         9 . A method of securing an apparatus to an article of clothing wherein the apparatus comprises a body portion having a first clothing receiving opening, a second clothing receiving opening, and a third clothing receiving opening, the method comprising:
 securing the apparatus to the article of clothing in a first method, the first method comprising:   gathering material of the clothing together and inserting the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening from a back side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening; and   inserting the pulled portion of the gathered material through the second clothing receiving opening from a front side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the second clothing receiving opening.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising securing the apparatus to the article of clothing in a second method, the second method comprising:
 gathering material of the clothing together and inserting the gathered material through the third clothing receiving opening from a back side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the third clothing receiving opening; and 
 inserting the pulled portion of the gathered material through the second clothing receiving opening from a front side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the second clothing receiving opening. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein gathering material of the clothing together comprising gathering enough material to lift the article of clothing from the floor or ground. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a horizontal position. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a vertical position. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising securing the apparatus to the article of clothing in a second method, the second method comprising:
 gathering material of the clothing together and inserting the gathered material through the third clothing receiving opening from a back side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the third clothing receiving opening; and 
 inserting the pulled portion of the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening from a front side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening. 
 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein gathering material of the clothing together comprising gathering enough material to lift the article of clothing from the floor or ground. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14  further comprises orienting the apparatus in a horizontal position. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising securing the apparatus to the article of clothing in a third method, the third method comprising:
 gathering material of the clothing together and inserting the gathered material through the third clothing receiving opening from a back side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the third clothing receiving opening; and 
 inserting the pulled portion of the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening from a front side thereof and pulling the gathered material through the first clothing receiving opening. 
 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  wherein gathering material of the clothing together comprising gathering enough material to lift the article of clothing from the floor or ground.
