Few people know this ancient sewing secret

There is no need to look for a special fabric pencil. A simple piece of dry soap, which is found in every house, can do the job perfectly. This former secret is practical, economical and easily disappears after washing.

Why is it clever?

• Soap leaves a clean mark without damaging the fabric.
• Unlike other tools, it is not likely to stain your finished clothes.

Fragile seams? This is a common problem. To prevent a sewing line from unpacking over time, former seamstresses systematically used back spots at the beginning and end of the line. This simple method solidly strengthens your seams.

Practical tip: Think about your everyday clothes or areas under tension, such as hems and closures.
