Terry cloth did not seem especially fraying or fussy to me, and my needle did not catch on the loops. I made a mattress cover for my son from bamboo terry and a hooded bath towel from the same fabric. Very long or bul...

But why? I never even thought about it, since I quickly got used to adjusting the pedal pressure by practicing making stitches on scraps.

Nothing will happen to the walls, the tape is easily removed like electrical tape (even though it's made of rice paper), not like scotch tape. At the same time, it holds well and doesn't peel off over time, but you ca...

Closed storage, I think, is more suitable for a humid climate. Remember how swimsuits and towels take a long time to dry at the seaside, especially at night... And so that clothes and fabric scraps don't develop a mus...

It turns out to be something like a mini-pillow for a sofa, interesting. :) The only thing is that you'll have to wash it together with the filling. The material of the scarf is also important here. If it's synthetic ...

This may help only with light, fresh soiling, not set-in stains. For a sofa, I would first check the care label and test a small hidden area before using water or any cleaner. Too much moisture or unapproved heat can ...

That is rattan. I agree with the previous comment. A cat house like this is woven much like an ordinary basket. The weaving starts at the bottom: first secure several long rods together, then take one of them and weav...

In the case of blood, only the fastest possible washing helps me (more precisely, I wash it as soon as possible after it gets dirty - dried blood is very reluctant to come out) and a stiff silicone brush. I soak the s...

The butter-and-cream mixture is thickened with icing sugar and resembles a cross between fondant and marshmallow. If it is made as food and handled as a perishable food, it could indeed be a pleasant way to keep a chi...

The previous comment suggests a butter, cream, icing-sugar, and food-colouring mixture that children can shape. I still do not understand what makes it firm — is it the icing sugar? It sounds rather like fondant. It i...

I've sewn simple gauze masks, and put regular cotton wool inside as a filler. To keep this whole construction from clumping up after the very first wash, I quilted the masks by hand. They've survived a week of wear an...

I bought a steam station for home only because of the possibility of vertical steaming for curtains and furniture – it's very convenient! I bought a household one, also Tefal, but a simpler one – it's quite enough for...

Great selection! I wouldn't classify all of these as basic. To me, only the universal one and the jersey one are truly essential; the other needles can be interchangeable if you work carefully. For those working in an...

To be honest, a lot of this is new to me. I also love Vanish, it easily cleans stains for me, the only problematic ones are coffee and chocolate. And red wine. This trio of stains – it's almost always an item for the ...

Ladies, thank you so much!!! What do you think I should use as lining? It's summer, after all, it's hot, and it will be difficult to walk around in a bodice. I remember my own wedding with my husband at the end of Jun...

Thank you so much! Yes, I also think that white is a bit much... We'll talk about it. And how do you sew in the boning? Maybe there's a quick and clear way? Or is a bodice something you should just take to a tailor...

I am a Janome devotee))) My mom, my mother-in-law, my seamstress friend – they all have this same brand, though the models are different, of course. The struggle of choosing was long, as the prices bite and you need a...
