Owls are a classic! Always look so lovely) But for some reason I like the small owls better. Big ones look a bit rough on little kids somehow. Especially for hats, small ones work better.

Headbands like this are really handy in our weather, especially since almost all jackets have hoods. If it suddenly turns cold, you can bundle up. The only thing is, I'd do the top and bottom with a knotted edge. It's...

Please help me identify this fabric exactly. I saw a t-shirt on YouTube and wanted to sew one just like it. I'm a beginner when it comes to fabrics and couldn't figure out what material this is. The video says the fab...

From my experience, covering faux leather or leather with embroidery is not a good option. You add a lot of new holes, and in the end the garment will tear along the new seam. On these materials it is better to use an...

Interesting way to do the ear flaps on the powder-pink hat. So it's a double fold-over brim, with the ear flaps underneath? That's definitely easier to knit. And it's easier to work out where the ear flaps should go t...

Good day)) Let's say I'm a beginner I want to sew a quilt for a child Cotton - batting - plush I can't decide on the batting I've read a lot, and I'm choosing between Alpolux 100 or 150, or polyester batting My daught...

Please tell me how to fix a pants fitting defect. There are folds on the back panels of the pants, running from the outer to the inner seam. I did the steam pressing. They fit well in the front. It seems to me that yo...

And who is the tailcoat for – an adult or a child? I have a size 48 pattern. It will require about 2.5 m of fabric with a width of 1.4 m. Details: 1. Back - 2 pieces. 2. Side panel - 2 pieces. 3. Front panel - 2 piece...

I have an acquaintance, a rather plump lady, who knits these bandelettes for herself on knitting needles. And she's been doing it for a long time (she didn't even know that's what they were called :). She uses elastic...

These snaps are very convenient, but you cannot install them without the special tool. I once found a workaround: an old duvet cover had become worn and partly torn, but the edge with the snaps was still in good condi...

I want to add something regarding the use of hole punches. The thickness of the material sheet that the punch can handle is very critical. Only thin sheets are suitable for small hole punches. And regardless, over tim...

Perfect for spring! And a big plus that you can do it without a sewing machine. I just wouldn't bother with terry cloth, though. It frays so easily. And if we're skipping the edge finishing, that becomes a real proble...

I would have used seed beads instead of regular beads. That would have made the decoration look more elegant). But that's just my taste. Otherwise, with large beads, this kind of decor would only be suitable for summe...

You can make a lining for a handbag out of the cut-off jacket sleeves. There should be enough fabric. Then it becomes a zero-waste option! And if you really want to put in the effort, you could make the bag reversible...

@Ossari, thank you for studying the pattern so carefully! Have you decided to sew the vest? Wonderful! Be sure to share step-by-step photos and, of course, a photo of the finished vest! When I was sewing it, I didn't ...

@goworow, that's an interesting topic) I'll need to look for some information.

You can also cut out various figures from paper that match the theme and stick them to the window. It will look very interesting in the evening. And for the truly creative, you can even set up an installation like thi...

I agree with the most likely cause of thread breakage (up to needle breakage) - excessively high upper thread tension. I check the tension like this — I take the thread out of the needle, then lower the presser foot a...

@Anya, You don't have to hem it at all – you could cut some scallops along the bottom and leave it like that.

Girls, has anyone tried a Teflon foot in action? The price seems reasonable – around 40 UAH, but is it worth it? I haven't sewn thick faux leather yet, and for thin stuff, I manage with a regular universal foot. I jus...

If you have decided to take up needlework and seriously master the technology of sewing clothes, you need to start by organizing your workspace. Of course, you can try to get by with a kitchen or writing desk. But the...

I know a few other non-traditional ways to clean gold. Vodka or soda – dampen a cloth and wipe the surface; you can also just soak it in vodka or soda for a few minutes. By the way, soda is the safest method for jewel...

Look, you can try a few options. 1. Bleach. Dilute liquid bleach with water at a 1:10 ratio. Pour it into the reservoir and let it sit for a while. Then, turn on the steam ironing function and empty the reservoir comp...
