By the way, I've seen partially sewn-in linings in store-bought models - for example, only on the sides of the panties. It's very uncomfortable! I assume it's done to save fabric? I've never sewn swimsuits myself, but...

Also, a simple braid made of 3-4 "strands" looks very nice. They can be knitted or cut out - for example, from leather or faux leather. Such belts are versatile - for the beach, with jeans, or with a summer dress.

Super glue is bad not only because of its hardness. In the case of embroidery, it also dissolves the color of the thread like acetone does to nail polish, and therefore streaks can appear on the fabric. I have Güterma...

Perhaps if you have been into non-standard manicure techniques, the Ebru dyeing method won't be new to you. It can be applied to both regular eggs and shells – the shell has pronounced shielding properties, so such pa...

I have never used plastic snaps, only metal ones. There are separate archived discussions about metal and magnetic snaps, but their English versions are not available. Magnetic snaps can sometimes be installed without...

I've been thinking about a key holder, as we currently just toss our keys into a basket on the shoe rack by the door. We have many sets, all different with different keys, so it's easy to mix them up. I really liked y...

The turquoise ones in the second photo are just like the ones my mom had on a cardigan — I remember them from childhood. It was so trendy back then — yikes! Nowadays I'd only use something like that as an accent. For ...

It makes super soft blankets! But the yarn is expensive, it has a very high consumption rate, and the cost is high too. It's fine for a small baby blanket, but an adult-sized 180 x 220 one would cost a fortune! Turkis...

An interesting idea! I just think the elastic will have to be replaced more often... I use a wooden desktop thread organizer myself, it's also a handy thing, but it takes up space on the table. I adapted it to a shelf...

I would suggest not throwing away (or buying—they only cost 5 UAH, after all) regular incandescent light bulbs. If you have acrylic paints, brushes, and a desire to create, you can use such a piece of glass to make ve...

I'm not a fan of the tape idea, as it's unlikely PVA will hold it securely, especially on fabric. Maybe try it with super glue, I suppose... And heat-shrink tubing is just regular polyethylene, right? Is there any sub...

Crafty ladies, happy first day of winter! Autumn flew by so fast) I want to share some snowflake crochet patterns I've already tried. It's better to use a 1mm crochet hook, 1.5mm at most, otherwise they'll be a bit to...

I'll throw in a simple pattern too: It's important to starch the finished snowflakes well so they hold their shape. And, of course, dry them on a flat surface. I use them to decorate not just the Christmas tree, but a...

I keep my tailoring scissors in a fabric case. I sewed it myself based on the principle of a brush roll with pockets that rolls up. It's both safe and compact. Although before, I just put them in a separate desk drawe...

Using a curling iron is dangerous, of course, but as an emergency option to smooth out a few creases, it'll do)) I even sometimes just hang a blouse on a hanger in the bathroom at home. While I take a shower, it strai...

I made charms for a bracelet out of epoxy resin, but I didn't really get hooked on it. You can find molds on Ali, there are tons of different options for every taste. Here is a link: You can also find pigments and dri...

Thanks for the helpful article! My fabric was bunching up for two reasons: tangled thread (here, both tension and the type of thread in relation to the type of fabric matter a lot) and, most often, debris in the feed ...

@Inesso4ka, the Chaika is still good today, despite being morally outdated. For home use - more than enough, especially considering its price on OLX! I'm not throwing my mom's away. It has all the main types of stitch...

We do not celebrate, but my son's school asked him to make a holiday craft, so he will be making a scary papier-mâché pumpkin. You will need a balloon, thread and paste (or diluted PVA glue). Do not inflate the balloo...

Welcome! Glad to have newcomers!) These two threads might help you: Overlock and coverlock: differences, seam types, and choosing tips and Coverstitch machines: which model to choose? 😉

I made chair pads from old jeans using a similar method. You can combine different shades of blue or use a single colour. Another option is to sew the pieces into a circle, stitch each "petal", and only then add the f...

@bussinka, yes, I have one like this at my dacha, made from old T-shirts: simply a braid coiled into a spiral. I stitched it on a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch, though you can also sew it by hand with blind stit...

I order branded tags, it turns out to be an embroidered inscription and logo. The idea with stamps is good, of course, but such ink does not withstand frequent washing and fades. Perhaps you have some way to fix it in...

My daughter and I decorated ordinary plastic Christmas baubles with nail-polish painting. It may look like a kindergarten craft, but the results can be very pretty. Water marbling is one option; an adult should handle...

I really like products made from Crazy Horse leather. It's a very specific material - dense leather with a smooth, velvety "face" side. I have a wallet, a belt, and a key holder - they've been serving me for many year...
