Few people know this ancient sewing secret

Whether it is strengthening a thread or preparing a fabric carefully, these secrets are a real legacy that deserves to be rediscovered. Here's how a few forgotten methods can make your life easier today.

4 old tricks to revolutionize your sewing work

1. Reinforce the yarn with beeswax

Did you know that your grandmothers would pass their yarn in wax before you sew? This gesture, simple but astute, makes the yarn more resistant and prevents it from getting tangled. This makes it easier not only to pass through the fabric, but also to make it look durable. Try it and see the difference, especially on your long or delicate projects.

How do I do it?

1. Take a piece of natural beeswax.
2. Put your thread several times on it to coat it well.
3. Seize as usual: the thread will slip more easily and be strengthened.

2. Use dry soap to mark your tissue
