DIY is a term we encounter everywhere.<\/p>\n

Everybody already knows it\u2019s short for Do It Yourself.<\/p>\n

But what does DIY include?<\/p>\n

Some will instantly think about patching up holes in the wall, others about making their own bath bombs, cutting their own hair, manufacturing furniture or sewing their own clothes.<\/p>\n

There are A LOT of fabrics and knits. And not all of them will be suitable for every project – one will be great for making clothes, the other one for curtains, and another one for scarves. One will stretch and glide through your sewing machine so it won\u2019t be an ideal fit for beginners, while others will stand still and patiently wait to be formed by you.<\/p>\n

Keep this in mind before you throw yourself into a project, and answer these questions:<\/p>\n
