From now on, I collect socks without a pair, found them a brilliant use in the household. Bashny.Net

Sometimes you start tidying the closet, and you realize that you have a bunch of different socks in your drawer without a pair. Have you ever done this? My socks are being stolen by a dog, and there's a mountain of guinea pig-spoiled socks. They are lonely and it is a shame to throw them away. But I found a way to give them a new life. sew seats on chairs with your own hands.



Seats on chairs with their own hands When it comes to chairs, then in a house with animals and children, wooden durable chairs without upholstery will last longer. But it's impossible to sit on them for long. Home shops sell separately soft seats for wooden and garden chairs. They are of different shapes and colors, with rivets, rivets and bright patterns.



But why spend money on these things when you can make a home decor item yourself? And it won't be some shop seat. The patchwork technique, in which a seat is made for a chair made of socks, wounds in the seme sentimental moments from life, warm memories that are so dear to us.

On the Moth Art channel, the deft craftswoman showed a detailed master class on how to sew a bright unique seat onto a chair. Turns out it's pretty simple, but it's meditative, so if you like sewing, this is the master class for you.

The idea of solo socks was so inspiring that I don’t throw away things I don’t wear anymore. In the world, the conscious consumption movement is gaining popularity. The rules of the movement are: before you throw something away, think about how it can be used, if it can not be reused, then it must be recycled.

In fact, many craftsmen undertake to knit carpets from unnecessary textiles, some sew authentic bags and cosmetics, turning the fabric into yarn. And when you create something like this with your own hands, it has great value for you and for your children. Isn't it?
