My mother used to mend things this way for me, and now my daughter can do it too, but mine always comes out crooked and uneven. I always miss some loop, and it is good if it is only one. So this method is probably not...

Interesting method, I always drew it by hand. Tell me, what temperature should it be washed at, and how does the design hold up after washing? Does it crack?

The snood turned out gorgeous. Tell me, have you ever tried sewing lace onto finished items? Does it look good? Or is it strictly for silk?

Indeed, it's an easy and clear pattern! I liked the last cardigan - it's so cozy! I need to try sewing it. Do you think it would work with thick jersey knit? Your wardrobe is the envy of everyone! 🙂 I knitted one card...

I've used clips. They are very convenient, especially with thick fabrics. I didn't even know you could use paper clips like that. I definitely need to try it. By the way, if the fabric is very, very thin, you can use ...

I've also worked with this fabric, but if you don't use a lining, it's very itchy (especially when new, before it's broken in), and if you do use a lining, it's very difficult to match, especially when it comes to swe...

This is brilliant! And if you "comb out" thick yarn and separate it into thinner threads, you'll get a very fluffy fringe. I have to try it sometime. I don't know what to use it for yet, but for some reason, I really ...

Unusual yarn. I'm seeing this for the first time. When I was learning to knit toys, I mastered the loop-knitting technique, meaning I used simple soft yarn for toys and formed the loops myself. But here, it turns out ...

If you take a large piece of cardboard and thick yarn (ideally with cotton in the composition), you can make bath mats or bedside rugs. They will be dense and hold their shape well. By the way, you can use the same me...

I tried this technique back in college, and I can say that it's a lot of hassle! In fact, there is no difference between a finished item made with the Knooking technique and one made with knitting needles. It's all th...

Use a circle skirt pattern, but use your own length. And put a tulle petticoat underneath (like they do for tutus). It's quick, there are no complications, and you get a gorgeous skirt.

I also use lettering brushes, riggers, fan brushes, and liners. They are similar to standard round brushes but have very long bristles. With these brushes, it's easy to make even, long, and very thin lines without lif...

The best way to save money (regardless of whether it's knitting, embroidery, or decoupage) is to write down a list of everything you need, compare it with what you already have at home, cross out the items you've foun...

The easiest way to make a mood board like this is to use a retail grid (the kind usually used to display glasses and hang other merchandise). And attach all your ideas using stationery clips or binder clips. A retail ...

So familiar. I don't do cross-stitch, but I love looking at others' work; when it comes to leather, I'm totally at home with it — any scrap of leather is material to me. If I'm talking to someone and notice they're we...

I was once given soap with activated charcoal for a holiday. It looked nice, but I was sceptical—charcoal, after all. It washed normally, although I can’t tell whether it did anything more than that.
