HOW TO STORE VINTAGE CLOTHING…

GiftBoxes

Roll trousers up or if you prefer to hang them do not fold over a hanger, peg them to the hanger by the end of the legs instead.

Keep jackets in good shape by stuffing the sleeves with tissue or newspaper.

Roll up silk scarves inside an old loo or kitchen roll tube.

If you are worried about damp in your wardrobe then tie a handful of sticks of chalk together and hang them inside. They will absorb the moisture.

To avoid moths eating the woollens, they hate bay leaves, all spice berries, lavender or cedar chip or spray with moth replant.

Use padded hangers for knits, jerseys, and silks.

Always button up your outfits when storing them as it keeps the shape better

I set up Crafted By B Studio after retiring from writing a blog for over 10 years on chronic pain. As a chronic pain sufferer myself I had always used art as a way to relax and take me away from my pain and stumbled upon paint by numbers by fluke. I was hooked from day one and went into custom paint by numbers as I progressed with my others. Over the past 3 years I have completed over 20 pieces and also made some of my own unique pieces. I am happy to help anyone who might like a custom picture made into a piece of beautiful art using this type of technology. I am also interested in lots of different types of crafts which I enjoy with my 4 grandchildren so my site will have lots of links and posts on mixed crafts and arts.
