Interesting know-how, I'm hearing about it for the first time! Out of habit, I just tie the yarn together myself. Not long ago, I found this interesting method: In the video, the joint is visible, but in practice, esp...

In the sun, this fabric will of course fade very quickly, but if it is used for home decor—for example, sofa cushions or kitchen towels—the print should last a year. Before washing, I would soak it in vinegar: 100 ml ...

It seems to me that such a white key holder could easily be made by yourself. I would decorate it a bit more—for example, by painting it different colors and drawing little windows on the "houses." But honestly, key h...

My best purchase has been a steam generator. I didn't understand where all the excitement came from before… Now I understand and I'm thrilled with it myself. No iron can smooth out wrinkles the way a powerful steam sy...

I would advise making the most of the wall. Hanging organizers wonderfully free up space in drawers, and you can place small items on wooden shelves. To make everything look nice, you can choose matching organizers; I...

If you're doing this with kids, you can use small yogurt cups. Peel off the label and decorate them to your taste. Here, for example, is a snowman. The hat is made of corrugated paper, and the scarf is made of thin fl...

In my experience, a scarf stretches wonderfully, and so do sweaters, especially the sleeves in length and the bottom hem. With all my love for angora, I always add a thin synthetic thread in a matching color when knit...

Storing in closed plastic containers isn't the best way... The fabric can get damp, and then you can only get rid of that smell by washing it. Any fabric loves ventilation, so it's better to let it "breathe" as much a...

Also, like any natural fiber (wool, silk...), such sweaters can be washed with shampoo. The most ordinary kind, the main thing is not "nourishing", otherwise the wool fibers won't be fluffy. I dissolve 1-2 spoons of s...

@bussinka, I think this is the very pattern for the red and white snowflake that you forgot to send. Perhaps someone will find it useful now. 🙂

We have a thread where the girls have already shared patterns and tips for making crocheted snowflakes. Right here: /knitting-and-crochet/1402-crochet-snowflakes-looking-for-patterns?commentsMode=expanded#comments I s...

@Julianna17, Yulia, welcome! Our community has a large section on knitting with needles: /ru/viazanie-spitsami-i-kriuchkom?tag=knitting And crochet: /ru/viazanie-spitsami-i-kriuchkom?tag=crochet There are also lots of...

Moths may not like strong smells, and people often mention lavender, fir, cedar, geranium, jasmine, tansy, or eucalyptus. I agree about the soap: I use it too, though I see it as fragrance rather than a dependable tre...

Yes, girls, it's foamiran! I used to be into making flowers from this material too. Maybe you remember, headbands and hair ties with such flowers were very popular. And also hair clips and hair bands. I found a small ...

Hi and welcome! :) Swim trunks need to fit snugly, so they can't be completely non-stretch. As a rule, lycra, polyamide, microfiber, and biflex are used... These fabrics vary in density and even texture, you need to f...

I absolutely love working with chiffon! Knowing a few nuances makes the process significantly easier! Such fabric can be: smooth, thin, and very light; fine-grained crepe (denser and less transparent fabric); with or ...

And I am a fan of seersucker. It's clear that it's 100% cotton. But I will never pass by such a bedding set. Well, on bedding sets, if they are decent, there is always the fabric composition, though not always the den...

Fringe is also quite a trend! Only I would make the skirt longer, just below the knee – I think it would look more elegant that way. And it's not an everyday outfit + you need to combine it wisely, since the item itse...

I don't believe in any superstitions, except for black cats – they always cross my path at such unlucky times. :) With sewing, it's simple: if I need to, I'll adjust the item on the "model," because that's the only wa...

Not exactly hard labour, but you are right that it is not boring! 🙂 Citric acid is optional. If you add it to stop a child eating the play dough, the mixture will taste unpleasant. Why add it? The dough is salty alrea...

A jeweler may be able to advise whether a particular piece has a protective finish and how it should be cared for. Tarnishing is not a reliable sign of kidney or liver disease; if you have a health concern, discuss th...

Craft scissors include stork scissors, tweezer scissors, and scissors for patchwork or appliqué. Tweezer scissors are useful for Hardanger embroidery because they can reach threads in awkward places. Appliqué scissors...

The original comment gives an alcohol, glycerine, water, and essential-oil mixture and says it should be used at work. Do not rely on a home recipe for a verified sanitiser concentration. Alcohol is flammable; essenti...
