When it comes to the compatibility of shades and colors, I remain faithful to the color wheel. In terms of color and shade, it is exactly what will help you choose yarn shades so that they harmoniously complement each...

Alas, my only experience is with glue sticks, and even then, not for clothing (I was knitting a floor mat). Silicone glue retains its flexibility and even elasticity; I would try it as a substitute. Super glue is real...

I knew a lot of this, but the bit about spiders and Gogol is something new! I'll add a little about the origin of silk underwear; it appeared back in the Middle Ages. Back then, fleas and lice were a scourge not only ...

I would never have thought to make an egg out of a pom-pom!)) If anyone needs it, here is a master class on making pom-poms in several ways: /learning/how-to-make-yarn-pom-poms-three-simple-methods And here are ideas ...

I could sing praises to my steamer. How did I live without it before? Any garment can be steamed while hanging! I think people who wear shirts (and the wives of husbands who work in offices) will understand me! I also...

This fabric is also used for stoles, scarves, snoods, capes, and even coats—not as whole garments, of course, but in sections over a base fabric. It is not to my taste, but many makers are seriously interested in the ...

I'm not much of an embroiderer myself, but I've put all my leftovers to use for the kids' embroidery. A few flowers or leaves on a collar in satin stitch, a spider on jeans, some silhouette - all this takes minimal ti...

Headscarves are really at the peak of fashion right now! I've seen leather ones more than once, but there is a more affordable and, by the way, also extravagant option - "puffy" headscarves. By the way, the price tag ...

@kisLinka, some trainers may tolerate a cool, gentle wash, but I would always check the manufacturer’s care instructions first. Avoid high heat and a spin cycle if the label warns against them, as they can damage the ...

Freezing does not sound like a very practical suggestion to me: I would not put footwear in a food freezer, and it may not solve the odour. I have heard that tea bags can help absorb some smell. I wash shoes only when...

@kisLinka, with adhesive-backed rhinestones, place the design on the right side of the fabric and use heat only as the product instructions permit. I would not hold a hot iron down for one or two minutes on an unknown...

It turned out very neat! I just burn it with a lighter and shape the end cap with my fingers while it's still warm. It doesn't look as nice, but it's a temporary fix for a day for those who don't have such tubing. :)

I used transfers like this, with the design already on an adhesive backing and only an iron needed. Unfortunately, some stones came off after the first wash. Follow the care instructions for both the garment and the r...

Vacuum sealing is actually a real solution! It's a very convenient and quite inexpensive thing - there are models for 200-300 UAH. I somehow didn't think of that, even though I've been using a vacuum sealer for three ...

Original idea! Not for me due to my age, but it might suit teenagers in terms of style. Especially since patches like these are currently in fashion. If the holes were smaller, I would have masked them with patches, a...

I have a hat, I have a scarf... Right now I'm doing something mundane - knitting socks, because the kids absolutely refuse to wear slippers, and we don't have any rugs in the house. In case it's relevant to anyone - h...

My biggest challenge was sewing straight lines. They just wouldn't come out even! The only thing that helped solve this was regular practice on fabric scraps. Our forum member Mari shared some training tips that help ...

The kitchen faces the sunny side, so in my case, such curtains aren't practical... Although the second-to-last option is quite nice. :)

By the way, about Burda. They really praise the rotary cutter for cutting in the magazine. Looks like a pizza cutter. I was looking at it at one time, now the urge has passed. Does anyone have one? Is it convenient or...
