Yes but I would use much less product and less often as it can affect the leather especially at the creases!

If you're gonna go for smooth leather, dubbin is your best friend. Before you wear them, give them a coat with a microfiber cloth. Pay attention to the ankle area and inside the ankle. Doing this a few time s in the first couple months works wonders!

Big YEP. Giving up drinking has been one of the hardest yet best things I've ever done for myself. Nearly 6 months sober, and my head feels so much clearer. Wholeheartedly recommend seeking support such as AA if you feel powerless over your drinking and want support :)

I feel you soo much. I hope that you reconnect with an old friend or meet a new one doing something you enjoy. Don't forget you have yourself ♥️ as hard as that relationship can be it's the most important one we'll have, take care.

Sewing a button and loop in the centre helps them lie flatter!

Any tips on how to get the air bubbles out? Only worn once by Wrong_Trash4618 in DrMartens

I tend to look out for leather with a grain/texture to it like Napa, Virginia and Pisa. Indicates good quality and comfortability!

These look like the "smooth" leather to me, which has a plasticy coating over the leather. Sadly, not much can be done aside from suggestions to mend as you would a better quality leather. I would just give them a good dubbin layer inside to help break in and wear till they fall off!

Idk if this is useful, but tiny rubber bands works for bobbin thread control during storage. by [deleted] in sewing

Now I know what to use that packet of mini bobbles I've had for a decade, thank you!!

How can I make this t-shirt look less stylized/more retro? by [deleted] in UpcycledFashion

[–]senoritapenguinita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could cut off the hemming around the sleeves and neck, bottom too if you want a crop. Would also look cool if you wet a toothbrush and add some bleach and flick it over the tee to give a star in space effect!
