My favorite sewing tip is to have a hot iron nearby. Pressing seams as you go makes a huge difference in the outcome of a project.
My favorite sewing tip is to iron seams flat. No matter what you sew, it looks better when seams are ironed flat.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to use a piece of scrap fabric to start your thread when sewing small seams such as doll clothes. It will eliminate the tangling of thread or sinking of the fabric on pattern edges.
My favorite tip is to have your fabric visible. I have mine wrapped on 8 1/2″ × 11″ or 6″ × 6″ card stock and stored on shelves in my sewing room. It is much easier to keep up with what you have (translation: don’t buy something you already have) and I have come up with some unexpected but nice combinations. This tip is a result of the Organizing for Productivity class from the SWC blog.
I agree with a lot of the tips given by everyone who has made comments. But, my tip is just to enjoy the whole process and get creative with your patterns .As sometimes using bits and pieces from various patterns create a new look for your outfit.
