Tip of the day
Sew fantastic
Keep mini sewing kits or invest in a few reels of cotton and a couple of needles. As well as being the most cost-effective way to make simple repairs to your clothes and make them last longer, sewing's also great for giving your glad rags a new lease of life, eg by adding sequins, patches, ribbons, etc. Sewing also lets you make a whole range of things that you might otherwise buy. Try simple things like purses, placemats, clothes for kids' dolls, pillowcases, aprons, draught excluders, pencil cases - the possibilities are almost endless!
