My favorite sewing tip is not doing a set in sleeve. After putting in the gathering stitches put right sides together and sew on the curve of the sleeve at the shoulders matching dots and centers. Then sewing the sleeve seem and the side seem all at the same time. It is so much easier than doing a set in sleeve on dolls clothes. Works great for kids and adults clothes too!
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to use small pieces of tear away stabilizer under buttonholes. It makes them so easy to sew and keeps the stitches on top of the fabric.
My favorite trick is Elastic ribbon. Simple to use, perfect results every time.
My favorite tip is to press as I go and to serge before sewing.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is having a labelled sewing machine needle case near by to put the needles into when switcing those hard to see numbers on the needle itself. The case has dividers, I labelled each section being # 10, 12, 14 stretch, ball point etc. Now I don’t have to strain to see. Easy.
