My favorite sewing tip to keep patterns organized, I print off the picture and only the pattern pieces, then put in sheet protectors in a 3 ring binder with labeled sections, that way I have a visual of the patterns I have. I too have ordered patterns that I already had before doing this. Now I can verify if I have the pattern or not. When I get ready to sew I pull up the PDF that I saved to my computer and follow the directions with the photos,
My favorite sewing tip which I learned this summer is using the coffee filter for knits , and cleaning up after I finish my dolls clothes so I don’t lose my small pattern pieces
my tip is: for dolls many things are better and even faster to sew by hand than by machine. Also I usually make 2 or 3 tiny overlapping backstitches instead of a knot at beginning and end. For some reason or other it doesn’t unravel.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is using sewing clips instead of pins on some seams and fabrics.
My favorite sewing or tip is using a coffee filter when sewing on knits. I have sewed on knits for years, but I have found sewing on AG doll clothes I’ve had more of a problem with the small size neck edges and the coffee filter has made a big difference. The other tip is filing my PDF patterns in notebooks with clear page protectors, divided by categories.
