My tip is to buy clear Christmas baubles in the after Christmas sales, then put scraps of your children’s Christmas outfit fabric in them along with the year. Do this each year to have a wonderful record of their Christmas outfits as they grow up.
My favorite sewing trick was taught to me by my mother, a professional seamtress, among other professions. She always ironed (pressed) every piece of fabric and seam as she sewed the garment together. I have continued to follow her lead and my garments go together much easier and come out looking well made…like a professional. ☺
“My favorite sewing tip or trick is not to sew on my lap..,or at least not TO my lap! ?
My favorite sewing tip is to shop thrift stores for fabric. Drapes and curtains provide an abundance of fabric for a multitude of uses. I purchase used clothing and turn it into stylish and inexpensive doll clothes for my nieces AGs.
My favorite sewing tip was told to me by my mother in law many years ago. She worked in a sewing factory, so I took what advice she had to offer eagerly. She said to not be discouraged if you have to rip a seam. Her point was to explore your sewing talent with the mindset that no one is perfect and to keep trying till you get it just right. I have followed that philosophy for over 40 years and I still love to sew!
