Speaking of fabric... Besides supplex, there are two other options: 1. Polyester and spandex - these fabrics are more expensive and less stretchy, but they hold their shape well and last for years. 2. Nylon with spand...

Girls, there is only one way out here - use a denser fabric and forget about carrying keys and other sharp objects in your pockets. They all tear without exception, but resewing an inset pocket takes a maximum of half...

An unconventional solution! You could also make chicks this way! 👍 I liked the idea of eggs made of thread, only they are made on a small balloon. The threads are soaked in PVA glue and wound around an inflated balloo...

In practice, long needles are very inconvenient to use, especially if you are embroidering on a hoop. Back in the day, I was into bead weaving, and thin fishing line was enough for two or even three passes through the...

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. To be honest, it looks rathe...

I have seen patent shoes touched up with matching nail polish on a tiny 5–10 mm scuff. However, nail polish is not a reliable footwear repair: it can crack, release solvent fumes, or transfer colour. For children's sh...

Not strictly necessary, but something that will significantly make work easier – a dress form. Only a dress form will help you fit a garment to a figure properly and achieve a perfectly even hem on a circle skirt! It ...

It's more profitable to buy in sets, but for small pictures, 5 meters will be more than enough. The price is 15 UAH. You need to try it on an inconspicuous area to make sure the tape sticks and peels off easily, becau...

I disagree with you that artificial leather reacts to a flame in the same way as natural leather. I've always checked it exactly that way! Artificial leather starts to melt and emit a strong, clearly chemical smell, w...

To me, it looks strange... Especially in the case of the black dress - it's very noticeable that the lace has a life of its own))

No all-purpose machine can be better than two specialized ones — that's already an axiom. I use a serger; for small sewing projects it's more than enough for me. Maybe the girls will chime in now and share their exper...

And I use leather tags for my knitted work. My husband and I just buy thick cowhide, he cuts small rectangles out of it and burns the logo using a template. You don't have to bother and can buy pre-cut tags with butto...

@krestiki_noliki, I managed with very little - tailoring scissors from Soviet times, brand new needles, and a few spools of thread. Actually, for starters, you need two pairs of scissors - standard tailoring ones and ...

I'll add a plus to fabric density and the absence of pilling. There is a huge selection of inexpensive fabric shavers on the internet, a wonderful invention of humanity! As a rule, high-quality fabric looks expensive....

I once wiped it off with dry Vanish (grass). In general, it is better to remove stains as quickly as possible, otherwise they will soak into this rubber so much that they will remain there forever. I also agree about ...

I inquired about how much restoration of the toes costs (slightly scuffed + changing the heel tips). They calculated 700 UAH. Considering the price of the shoes, it's worth a try (I bought them at a very big discount)...

Turned out cute, especially the second pair! Though, of course, such shoes won't last long... I periodically see accounts of shoe restorers on Instagram... HOW do they do it?!

I have one for denim - I bought it specifically for these purposes, as I don't always guess the length when ordering online (in the States, jeans sizes vary not only by waist and hips, but also by length). I don't rem...

Ladies, welcome! I agree that it will be much easier without a corset, especially if you are a beginner at sewing... Under the dress, definitely wear a tulle skirt (better to use medium stiffness, otherwise it won't b...
