My favorite seeing tip is that I like to make a lot of doll clothes from the same pattern assembly line style. I tend to cut them out assembly line style too. I always have many cut out before starting to see. So I use the plastic containers that have muffins in them that you get from the bakery at grocery store to store my assorted projects. They are clear so I can see the project but I also write the pattern number and view number or store the pattern with them.
“My favorite sewing tip or trick is to print pieces on cardstock and then laminate. The pieces last so much longer.
My favorite trick is to after sewing the pattern pieces together to adjust the item on a doll matching my grand daughters doll before ironing.
Checking measurements to make sure the pattern will fit. When using a new material your not familiar with, get enough to experiment with so that you have enough to make your project.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to copy only the pattern pieces for doll clothes. Read the instructions from an iPad while sewing. This saves paper and also storage space for patterns.
