Bras can be washed in special laundry bags; they can damage more than terry towels. I use fabric softener without problems — well-rinsed Lenor or Silan has not affected absorbency for me, and the terry stays soft inst...

For its time, visually very stylish — a truly regal dress! But I'm honestly scared to imagine how hot the bride must have been in that thick nylon skirt, awful! 🤪

What about a traditional rope swing or an ordinary swing? The original comment also mentioned a commercially made hanging dome. Adults may enjoy it too, but the structure must be correctly and securely installed. [Edi...

A key holder is a cool thing, but the main thing is to train yourself to hang the keys in their place instead of throwing them on the table. :D I also really liked the second option—you could make it at home in half a...

I liked it too! I'll add a fact that will surprise many: high-ranking male executives use the services of couturiers more often than women. The suits you see in the photos are most often custom-made. Shoes, by the way...

I also prefer simple, minimalist curtains, but this style has a right to exist too, especially if the kitchen interior is done in a classic or retro style. They look cozy. :)

I would add a full-length mirror. It's needed not so much for the seamstress, but for clients during fittings, so that adjustments to the fit and level of tightness can be made immediately. For those working from home...

What do you think about this? The idea could be adapted, but this version does not look very polished. A neat toe-cap edge or a stripe of rhinestones along the sole might look better. Still, gel polish is likely to ch...

I saw another idea: scuffed toe caps were lightly sanded, outlined with tape, coated with adhesive, and covered with fine glitter. It looked pretty, though I do not know how practical it was. For children's shoes, thi...

Great ideas! I embroider very rarely; lately, I've kind of forgotten about it and let it all slide)) But I keep my threads in zip-lock bags with paper tape so that if I need a little of a specific color, I don't have ...

It's a matter of preference... I love such "small stuff" - knitting it isn't stressful and it's interesting, and the process... it doesn't last just one day, after all. I have some unfinished projects lying around for...

@bussinka, no, I haven't even seen those for sale. Interesting thing, I guess... are they silicone? If so, I wouldn't take them, because silicone yellows over time (after just a couple or three months).

Last year, my daughter and I made Christmas ornaments out of thread. We even have a thread about it, and you commented there. Did you lose it, perhaps? 😉 Ideas - For the home - New Year's jute lamps - Interior decorat...

The price is marked up two or three times here, but in China, it's 25 UAH for 10 meters, so you can stick it everywhere. The only thing is you need to read the reviews to make sure the print is bright. I had an idea t...

I made one like this with lavender! The smell is pleasant, and moths don't get into the closet. I also had some pink mini-roses left over from a trip to Turkey (even smaller than the ones in the photo here), they are ...

@ShadyLady, you could make it larger. The other question is how long such a house would last. Our handsome boy would tear it apart very quickly, even though he used to be an ordinary outdoor cat. He destroyed a roll o...

@kisLinka, for me, on the contrary, sewing small details is still a problem. Although, if you're doing something simple, maybe you can do without the jeweler-like precision)) And I agree about bed linen and stitches. ...

@bussinka, I have a Lint Remover YX-5880. Just a standard one. It has been working properly for a year now, but it is important to clean it of pills in time (this applies to all such machines, as otherwise they can br...

A fabric shaver for 200 UAH helps me. I used to use a blade too, but a machine is much more convenient and faster. Clothes pill especially often under the arms, where the sleeve rubs against the side seam.

Budget-friendly, modern, mini, and inexpensive - that's the Roman shade. A very convenient thing for the kitchen! It costs from 250 to 400 UAH on average. You can make it yourself if you want... Very easy to care for!

I also don't really like working with silk and chiffon, but I have to, and quite often. I'll share my life hacks with you, which I've figured out through experience. 🙂 The most important thing with such fabrics is ver...

If the contamination is not very stubborn (like grass, coffee, wine), try to bleach the sole with micellar water. Soak a cotton pad abundantly and wipe. I didn't believe it myself until I decided to try! I have Garnie...

There are many ways to wear this kind of skirt. Here are a few examples for hot weather and a cool summer evening: Length is critically important here. It should reach mid-calf or lower: that silhouette visually lengt...
