In the last photo, there's a drawstring and a cord made of supplex, but the idea is quite clear. :) Besides supplex, you can use stretchy polyester, polyamide, or lycra. Cotton also works, but only if we're talking ab...

At least in swim bottoms... The style is very cute! If I understand correctly, there are no ties at the neck? Adding them could let the swimsuit fit for another year or two, because toddlers grow so quickly. In that r...

I have had such an experience)) The glue, however, was not one of those listed above - "Textile +". It really doesn't fall apart in water, but I came to the same conclusion - it's easier and faster to tie the thread. ...

There is another creative way to dye eggs. I tried it just last year and it worked! To test it, take one EMPTY egg, bright-colored markers, a needle, rubbing alcohol, and a dropper. Next, color the egg with bright mar...

I think the color should last. In the past, plant dyes were the only dyes available. Chinese carpets dyed with natural colorants many years ago do not lose their color; they can even become richer over time. They used...

How colorfast is this kind of printing? You could use vinegar, of course, or a professional color fixative... Similar patterns can be made more simply and quickly with food coloring and ordinary leaves used as stamps....

The wreath idea isn't new, but I rarely see anyone actually doing it, which is a shame! It creates beauty on the table, and you can hang it up too. It lasts for several years. If you have willow branches left over fro...

I was afraid of being called lazy, but I also don't like ironing bedding, so I have one set made of seersucker. It breathes well, it's optimal for the summer. But the fabric itself is thin, I don't think it will last ...

Cool idea, cutting across the sewn-together piece! Usually people sew squares together individually, which is a pretty tedious task. Potholders like these are a great idea for anyone who wants to give old things a sec...

The toe area usually takes the most wear on children's shoes. On leather shoes, a repair compound sometimes sold as "liquid leather" may camouflage minor scuffs if the colour is a close match. It does not restore stru...

It is a bit too busy for my taste, but that is a matter of personal preference. :) I agree about more neutral inserts. You could use denim too, just two or three shades darker or lighter.

I would add a set of sewing curves to the list — a must-have for those planning to draft custom patterns. Curves help draw clear straight and rounded lines, as well as sketch out necessary details quickly and easily. ...

I've seen this on Insta too — warm and pretty) As a substitute for terry cloth, you could use fleece — warm, thin, soft, and it doesn't fray.

I like tassels! On the corners. It looks very flirty and is simple as can be to make. Or faux fur pom-poms, but not all the way around, just on the corners. I really liked the trim with little bells! I saw throws like...

Oh, no-no-no, I'm not ready for such feats! And it's a pity to take something like this to the summer house. It's incredibly beautiful, but fine detail work is such painstaking, multi-hour labor... It looks stunning, ...

@Tata, yes, you're right - very "thin" spools can fall out, although my elastic is stretched quite tightly and that rarely happens. I shove particularly "slender" ones, or those that don't fit in the case, two at a ti...

I use a desk with drawers and a narrow, high shelf for the sewing machine (on the right). In practice, this seemed like the most convenient option - the machine can be put away, all accessories are sorted into drawers...

I haven't tried making this myself, but I like the idea. Especially considering that similar "disco" balls in stores cost 99 UAH and up. You'll need a CD or DVD, scissors, glue, a clear glass or plastic ornament, and ...
