My favorite tip is using a zag stitch over crochet thread for easy gathering.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is dont cross your legs when sewing.
My favorite tip is to use pinking shears on fabrics that tend to ravel.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to iron every seam flat. I join front bodice to back….then iron shoulder seam flat. I then sew lining shoulder seams and iron flat. I sew lining to bodice up the back seam, around the neck, other back seam, trim seams, turn lining to the inside and the neck line flat. In other words, iron everything as you go!
After fifty + years of sewing, I try to always make notes on each pattern. Sometimes it is just a note on how much lace of edging I used, or a slight change in sizing, length, or procedure. Whatever comes up, it is so much easier the next time around to know what I did instead of guessing. Each note is attached to the pattern cutting layout directions so I can’t miss them!
