“My favorite sewing tip or trick is to iron fusible interfacing to tissue paper patterns. It makes the pattern so much more durable, especially if it is a favorite pattern to be used over and over.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is for sewing anything with a sharp corner. Instead of coming to the corner and turning your fabric 90 degrees then sewing in the other direction, turn it 45 degrees, take 1 or 2 stitches across the corner then pivot 45 degrees to continue. That stitch across the corner makes it easier to get a nice crisp corner after you clip and turn your fabric right side out.
One of my favorite tips is when you cut ribbon sear the end carefully with a lighter so it will not unravel over time.
My favorite seeing tip is to see in blocks. I use this technique for collars and pockets
A favorite tip: Dry iron refolded tissue pattern pieces and they will slip easily back into the envelope. For my Pixie Faire patterns , I use 5″×7″ manila envelope. I write the name of the pattern at the top, print the page one photo at 40%-about a 3″×4″ size -and glue it under the name, I can see the each pattern quickly and store them in a shoe box. There is room to make notes under the picture too.
Favorite tools: quilters tape and what is called a Performance Tool. It’s like a retractable selfie stick but has a magnet on the end. About 6", it extends to 25 ". I don’t even have to get up to pick up a dropped pin. it was a gift but I suspect a hardware store would have these or something like it.
