Before sewing, I always perform fabric pre-treatment, i.e., I wash it at the recommended temperature, dry it, and iron it. You can also starch it, of course; then even the most temperamental fabric will lie perfectly ...

I have seen a crazy wool tutorial before. It is an interesting technique. It could also be used for home decor, such as cushions or table runners. I honestly cannot quite picture it in clothing—perhaps only with solid...

I have not tried this myself; it is only an idea from nail-art decoration. The rhinestones here appear to be set into a base coat. I wonder whether a gel polish could be used to seal them. Gel polish is a nail product...

Wow, I wouldn't have even thought to use it like that! I really liked some of the wall decor options. It's just not cheap, and the consumption will be significant, so you need to be prepared to spend a little.

If there are only a few beads, it holds everything perfectly. Tested. Plastic ones, 5 millimeters each, 5 pieces. It will definitely work for your snowflakes, as long as it's not on the outer edges, or the very thin r...

I keep them in the faux leather case they came in. You can also sew one yourself out of fabric or suede, for example. Another option is to use any silicone or rubber tube. Stretch a small piece, about 1.5-2 cm, over t...

Thanks for such a detailed review! I use needles for basting and darning of various diameters and thicknesses. Sometimes I use a large upholstery needle for working with dense fabrics. In general, I have a couple of t...

A mixture of vinegar and ammonia in equal proportions helps to clean heavy carbon deposits. I apply it with a cotton ball or a soft cloth and rub until the stain is gone. Alternatively, you can soak a cloth in vinegar...

I am one of those people for whom synthetics melt and natural fibres burn. 🙂 But that does not always work, especially with blends. Fabric content can also be considered without burning fibres; there are other clues. ...

How do you care for your scissors? How can you keep them sharp and extend the life of the tool overall?

Girls, in your case I'd add more elastic along the top and bottom of the mask so it sits more snugly against the face. Or better yet — something like wire, to give it a stable shape. Just make sure to finish the edges...

Out of everything described, I only tried the foil method... Well, it's okay. They got a little sharper, but not as much as I would have liked. And the sharpness didn't last long... I take both knives and scissors to ...

Girls, it's so good that this topic exists! I was reading it just yesterday, and this morning it came in so handy... In short, I had to wash a new cotton duvet cover from a large smeared and already slightly dried blo...

Oh yes, by the time you baste every single pleat, you don't even want the skirt anymore, and you realize that a classic pencil skirt isn't so bad after all😁 A pencil skirt has its own complications, especially if it's...

I haven't even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it in person or held it in my hands. This could really make the work so much easier when sewing all sorts of skirts and ruffles. Though, after some good practice wo...

To your list, I would add a ruffler foot. It really simplifies the work, tested! Thanks to it, you can quickly form neat, even pleats. It looks very unusual, like this: The foot has two mechanical adjustments: frequen...

I'm voting for Janome 5018. Electromechanical with a horizontal hook. 19 operations with convenient switching. Stitch length and width adjustment is possible. A very convenient compartment for storing presser feet und...
