In more than 200 years in existence, the sewing machine is still an essential appliance in billions of homes across the world. Despite the availability of clothing and fashion items in every color, shape and size in our shops, and the easy availability of tailors and garment menders, the humble sewing machine has shown remarkable durability over the years.

Imitation jewelry, commonly known as costume jewelry, is a low-cost alternative to real jewelry, which can be extremely expensive. Every woman wants a fine selection of bracelets, necklaces, pendants and ear-rings, and a lot have some fine pieces of genuine jewelry, however a wide collection of real gold and precious stones is not affordable for most.
This is where imitation, or costume, jewelry comes in. It’s true that, at the bottom end of the market, some imitation jewelry is of poor quality and is rightly called ‘junk jewelry’, it is also possible to get some excellent imitation jewelry that is virtually impossible to tell apart from the real thing. These imitation pieces may not be solid gold, but will be gold plated, and will be far less expensive than genuine jewelry.

Knitting is a centuries old way to make cloth that has made quite a comeback in recent years. It’s no longer considered a pastime for grandmothers alone. More and more people of all ages have been learning to knit, and this simple needlework craft lets people express their creativity by making items that are both functional and beautiful.
