Extend the Lifespan of Your Buttons with Nail Polish
You might not typically associate nail polish with sewing, and you might struggle to see how it could be useful in this context. Yet, it proves remarkably useful in button work, serving to reinforce their attachment to clothing.
Simply apply a coat of clear nail polish to the threads, and your buttons will stay put. The nail polish prevents fraying of the threads and ensures the buttons remain securely fastened over time.
Maintain Sharpness in Your Scissors at All Times
If you’re a seamstress or a tailor, or if you know someone who is, you’re likely aware that one of the most forbidden actions is to use their fabric scissors for anything other than cutting fabric or thread. This is because one of the easiest ways to improve your sewing experience is by keeping your scissors sharp at all times.
Sharp scissors facilitate the fabric-cutting process, ensuring smooth, precise cuts on all edges, especially with challenging fabrics.
