What do I get? Five simple tricks to organize your luggage




More business trip. A quick return flight, which should be something routine and simple, but that ends up turning into a real nightmare when it comes to packing. Fit the bag, select the shoes, try not to wrinkle the shirts ... How is a suitcase really organized? We explain it to you in five infallible steps.

1. The first and most important thing is to choose the luggage: if it is a short trip, it will suffice that you carry a briefcase, which you can put in the cabin and thus forget the long lines of billing. If on the contrary, you are going to need shirts and attire, choose carefully, checking the company's luggage policies, and bet on a comfortable and compact piece, With enough space and easy to handle, that allows you greater margin when it comes to fit what you are going to take.

2. Put everything on the bed, so you do not forget anything, and start to organize the clothes from the bottom up: first the shirts, perfectly folded (if you place them alternating the position will keep the necks intact for longer), then the harem pants men. And finally the shoes. A very effective trick to absorb impacts between layers and prevent wrinkles from forming is to place an 'insulation' Between a pile and another, like a paper magazine or a very fine book. Optimize the use of space by filling shoes with small, soft objects such as socks and executives, and if you are going to wear several pairs, choose to wear the heaviest or the most bulging to gain space. After sorting the things, you can put it on the luggage organizer respectively.

3. If you have reviewed over and over what you are going to take and still can not fit, try to roll some clothes: they occupy much less space and help; Sometimes, even, you will save on wrinkles. This trick works especially with wool sweaters, t-shirts, ties, and underwear.

4. Do not forget the basics. Sometimes the simplest is what we previously forgot to keep: mens sexy underwear, pajamas, oral b sonic toothpaste, deodorant ...Make a list of everything you carry, and keep it safe inside the suitcase: you will save precious time in the hotel when you have to do it again and you will not have to keep remembrance of this or that which you think you have taken with you.

5.Have you opened the suitcase and the shirt you hoped to wear tonight has a terrible wrinkle that crosses from left to right? Do not stress: hang it from a hanger in the bathroom, and have a relaxing hot shower. Water vapor will do the rest.

How to Sew a Four-hole Button


The process is similar to sewing a two-hole button, only changing the fifth step of those previously indicated to sew a two-hole button. In this step we must pass the thread alternately through each of the holes making sure that the visible thread is parallel (or crossed if a stitch of this nature was used for the other buttons of the garment) and that visibly remains the same as in the rest Of buttons of the garment.

Tips for sewing a button

You may want to secure the thread in a first step by giving some superficial stitches before starting the final sewing of the cheap sewing buttons , especially if the fabric is somewhat porous.

Be careful with the sewing you leave on the back of the garment, even if you can not see the visible part of the garment can be removed, for this we must make sure that the thread always comes out at the same point.

It is important to take into account when sewing a button that we must leave enough space between the button and the fabric to allow an easy buttoning. There are people who usually put a pin between the button and the fabric to ensure that at the end of sewing and remove the pin this space exists.

If you want to secure the button better you can use a thicker thread or threading the needle using a double thread. This is especially recommended when sewing buttons of coats or dress suits in which it is necessary to make more force when it is time to fasten them. Of course, the color of the thread should always be similar but the same color used for the rest of the buttons of the garment.

At the end you can better secure the thread by making a knot that is glued to the fabric and then passing the needle a few times through the knot. And you can also use a hand sewing machine to finish the sewing process.

In the case of having lost the button and not finding a similar one, it is advisable to change all the buttons of the garment in question. Otherwise, our clothes would lose visibility.
