This is how the seams on my backpack came apart. A few years ago, I took it to a seamstress I know for repairs, but I can't take it in for repairs again right now. I only have a needle and thread. Is there any way to ...

Maybe you are talking about a border? A long time ago I tried this one, it's narrow, only 11 stitches, and it really decorates items. It's knitted with needles. I'll be glad if it comes in handy 😉 Thank you! But the d...

Yes, it seems you are right. Thank you!

Thank you! But this is wide - from 4.5 cm and wider. But with narrow ones - there's a problem...

Balaclavas are at the peak of fashion right now! Your version is really nice — versatile. I wanted to knit one like the photo, with a slit. But then I thought it wouldn't be all that comfortable — it gets hot on publi...

Artificial beads often show a mold line. Usually, it's a strip running around the entire perimeter, roughly in the middle. You can also test amber with a solvent, like acetone. Natural stone won't be affected, althoug...

Very stylish! It looks wonderful.

For red and pink items, hibiscus tea is sometimes suggested as a scented rinse. Because plant infusions can affect colour or leave stains, test any such rinse on an inconspicuous area first and follow the garment’s ca...

I have the opposite problem: how can I refresh the colour of jeans? I am sorting through my clothes for autumn. The jeans are still in good shape, but a few areas, such as the inner seams and crotch, are slightly worn...

Great ideas! To add to the idea of a "separate" room, you can make a den—first simply from branches. If you plan ahead, plant climbing plants and it will be cool inside. [Editor's safety note: A branch den needs adult...

I hope you soaked it before cutting. Because there will be significant shrinkage. And another possible reason—did you stretch the fabric while stitching? If the sewing machine isn't adjusted very well, this kind of no...

I'll put in my two cents. :) You can also crochet the edge. And use knitting yarn for it. On a warm throw, such an edge looks very harmonious. The options for knitted trim can be very different — from a basic crab sti...

The idea is super! But what should be done if a spool "thins out"? It won't stay under the elastic, will it? As an option, you could provide "slots" of different thicknesses for the spools. For example, at the beginni...

Yes, with our apartments, you have to be an inventor. I have everything standing separately :( - the machine, the ironing board. I take them out as needed. An unattainable dream is a table with a folding ironing board...

Yes, with our winters, gloves are more of a style detail than a way to keep your hands warm. :) Even without frost, though, bare hands are not very comfortable for me; the wind really bothers me. I especially liked th...

@Anya, You can fold it over with fusible web if the faux leather is thin. It should hold. Or, if you really want to put in the effort – hem it by hand with some decorative stitch.

How to remove blood stains could be a separate topic. But since everyone is here, I'll write it here. It is important to note that the methods for removing fresh and dried blood stains are different! And if the wrong ...

So what do you all think of this creative coronavirus mask idea? I really like the design — it's got a national touch to it! Looks like it might just be a print here, but you could embroider it by hand too! It's reusa...

White gold requires an individual approach! Under no circumstances should you use products containing chlorine or acids, or you will lose the shine forever. That is also why, by the way, you should use distilled water...
