# DIY Clothing Ball Removals The Fabulous on a Budget Video Improves the Quality of Clothing By Jordy E | Published 2012-10-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabulo References: [fashion.glam](http://fashion.glam.com/) & [fabulousonabudget](http://fabulousonabudget.com/fashion/tipsy-tuesday-remove-sweater-pills/) The Fabulous on a Budget 'Remove Sweater Pills' tutorial celebrates the sites 'Tipsy Tuesday' section. The blog caters to women in search of affordable fashion information and guides, and it has here worked to produce an inexpensive DIY video. The Remove Sweater Pills entry gets at a common problem that both men and women face. Garments often ball or rather 'pill' after only a few laundry sessions, making ensembles appear worn in, even if they are relatively new. A basic razor is used here to slice off the excess clumps of cloth. The quick process revamps blazers, cardigans and trousers, making them look pristine and in mint condition all over again. Best of all is the budgetary aspect as the blades are relatively cheap. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Clothing Repair:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating DIY videos and tutorials for repairing and revamping clothing. - **Affordable Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in providing affordable fashion information and guides for budget-conscious consumers. - **Clothing Care:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing new methods or tools for maintaining the quality and appearance of clothing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in offering budget-friendly clothing options and promoting clothing care methods to enhance the longevity of garments. - **Online Content Creation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating engaging and informative DIY fashion videos and tutorials. - **Personal Care Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in developing specialized tools or products for removing pillings and maintaining clothing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Clothing Tag Removers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-label-remover.md) - [Clothing Care Hotlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wardrobe-refresh-hotline.md) - [Upcycled Minimalist Menswear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/son-of-a-tailors.md) - [Machine-Washable Cashmere Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tech-cashmere-collection.md) - [Clothing Repair Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-repair-service.md) - [Soufflé Yarn Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn.md) - [Supplemental Hair Removal Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finishing-touch-flawless-bikini.md) - [Sustainable Cable Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eloise-wool-sweater.md) - [Distressed Luxury Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distressed-luxury-knitwear.md)
