Abstract

The article offers tips on sewing. Sculpting pins into a tepee shape on a magnetic holder makes it easy to remove them individually while the rest remain securely attached to the magnetic base. An empty and clean roller-type antiperspirant bottle can be used for pressing seams because it moistens only small areas that need pressing, as well as simplifies the task. Running a wide zigzag stitch along the cut ends before prewashing woven fabrics helps keep fraying to a minimum and prevents the frayed threads from getting tangled up with other items in the wash.
