We go to the country house
It is very important for every mother to createso-called "country wardrobe." For residents of the megalopolis who came to visit their grandmother or who rented a house for the summer somewhere in a cozy place, it can become a very unpleasant discovery the number of unseen stains that a child will bring on his fashionable clothes after the first walk. Option two - or lock it for the entire period of rest in the house, or stock up on several shifts of clothes, in which and go out on the street will not be ashamed, and at the same time not so sorry. In this case, sewing children from old things must begin to master in the winter, and in the summer it will not be a problem at all. Again, boys need a few knitted shorts or overalls from father's trousers, and parents of girls will get rid of skirts or jeans sarafans.
Experiment
In clothes for children the most unexpectedstyles and models, finishes and color combinations. You can sew a contrast patch or application in the most prominent place of the soiled sweater, you can wear a denim dress that has become slightly short, trimmed with grandmother's lace and mother's beads.
Reconsider your wardrobe. It certainly will find something of quite decent quality, but has long gone out of fashion, with a torn sleeve or with a spot in the most prominent place. Feel free to take a thread with a needle - and go!
Mat? Why not
Sewing old things is not just creationchildren's wardrobe. Our grandmothers also changed clothes into mats. To date, there are two most popular methods of creating these products, which will find their place in any home, especially in the corridor and bathroom.
In the first case, any quality of clothing is cut byspirals on strips of approximately the same width. Just sit down watching the evening your favorite movie, take an old skirt or T-shirt, scissors, and by the end of the series at least one tangle you will be ready. Then take the hook thicker and the columns without the crochet, moving in a circle, start creating. A special advantage is the possibility of knitting by parts. From day to day you will see what shape the mat gets, and adjust the necessary sizes and colors. The finished product does not dissolve and keeps the shape well. It is also very easy to take care of him. After all, washing it in a typewriter or even with hands in a basin is much easier than doing a dry cleaning of a carpet track bought for a lot of money.
If you do not know what a hook is, and even theElementary knitting techniques do not own, there is a second option. Similarly, the product is cut into strips. After you got three approximately equal in size coil, begin to weave from the bands pigtail. The same color or different colors will be given to the needlewoman. The resulting pigtail is wound up so that something similar to the shell of the cochlea turns out, and sew it with a regular needle at the junction points. Such a mat, if at the end of the work it is still lightly and steamed, it will look simply amazing.
Excellent relaxation method
Sewing of old things, except the possibility of creatingoriginal clothes and accessories, still perfectly calms the nerves. Give vent to your imagination, and you need for this just a thread with a needle and something already occupying a long place in the wardrobe.
