#shorts #koalasewingHow to Make a Bedside Pocket with a Rigid AttachmentKoala Sewing2024-03-17 | Here's another way to sew a hanging bedside pocket organizer. You don't need to tuck the underside under ποΈ the mattress. This bedside storage caddy has its own rigid attachment to the bed frame. Also, keeping the bedside pocket clean is easy β justly unfasten the closures and toss it in the washing machine. Of course, finding the perfect base to attach it to your bed can be a bit tricky β after all, bed designs vary. But you can find something suitable at your local hardware store. For me, a steel ceiling channel was just the ticket. As you follow the steps, remember, that it isn't set in stone. Depending on your needs, you can create any other organizer length, different sizes, and the number of pockets. I really wanted to make something like this to store bedside essentials. But the important condition was that I should not tuck anything under the mattress. The idea was that the organizer would be easy to attach to and remove from the bed, and it should also be machine washable. If you are in the same search - welcome. Perhaps this will serve as a springboard for creating your own perfect hanging bedside caddy to keep everything tidy before bedtime.

#koalasewingHow to Install Snaps onto a Flap Pocket π Customizing Ready-Made Cargo JeansKoala Sewing2023-12-02 | Have you ever wanted a little more functionality from your store-bought cargo denim pants? Well, I recently faced that dilemma. I got jeans online and was surprised to find that the cargo pockets didn't have any fasteners. What about velcro, snaps, or other practical fasteners? To me, cargo style just doesn't feel complete without them. Return or upgrade? I settled on the second option. It was a bit thrilling to create holes in the new jeans, but after a little customization, now it's time to enjoy! If you're facing the same problem, here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to set snaps into the cargo pockets of ready-made jeans or pants.

#koalasewingUPGRADING OFF-THE-RACK CARGO JEANS | PREVIEWKoala Sewing2023-11-30 | #koalasewingI Made a Retro Skirt with Extra Large Pockets | Sewing with a Ready Made PatternKoala Sewing2023-10-07 | I've checked this skirt pattern, and it's fantastic. It evokes the '50s with its ultra-feminine style. Some might call it vintage, but to me, this cut is timeless. I made a few modifications to the original pattern. I eliminated the back zipper, widened the waistband to 6 cm (2,5''), and hid the elastic band under the rib knit fabric. Folds, gathers, and extra-large pockets on the sides add fullness to the skirt, while a stiffer, more prominent waistband accentuates the waistline. With this contrast between the hips and waist, the combination of the skirt's lightweight fabric, and the waistband's heavier fabric, I tried to follow the spirit of the charming looks of those times. It doesn't matter what body shape you have - in the style of the '50s, you'll always have that wasp waist look. I don't really like pairing this skirt with a T-shirt. I should sew something more suitable, and besides, I have some fabric left... Oh, sewing plans never end π

I would like to share my experience since it has both victory and defeat. My down coat had three holes. I repaired two of them pretty great. And the rips are almost invisible. With the fix of the third tear, I failed. I had to rework it several times. As a result, the hole became larger. And, to my regret, the patch doesn't look neat. I think that's probably because the hole was too small. And I had too little space for this work. So I had to look for ways to correct my mistake.

#koalasewing #sleepmask #sleepmaskpatternHow to Clean Oven Racks EasilyKoala Sewing2020-05-12 | Here is my favorite way to clean the oven racks without difficulty or effort. Usually, the oven cleaner dries out or flows down before it dissolves caked grease and grime on your oven racks. The cling wrap allows the oven cleaner to work as long as necessary and also provides close contact between the cleaner and racks surface.
β In the same way, you can clean drip pans and a grill shelf.
β Unlike soaking racks with detergent in a bathtub, you don't have to clean the bath and wash a towel later ;)
β Please pay attention that the oven self-cleaning feature is not designed to clean oven racks. It will break down the chrome surface of racks and permanently damage them.

In this video, I use the SMS (three layers: spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) fabric. Factory-made medical masks are also made out of this material. The inner layer of my face masks (in the nose clip area ) has no punctures from the sewing machine needle to get as close as possible to the protection level of the factory-made mask. Since the thin elastic band is increasingly not available for purchase, here you will find several ways to get out of the situation. I don't call my masks medical or surgical because only factory production can provide the proper quality and protection level against the virus.
