Another very simple sewing tip.
My simple sewing tip may not be ‘rocket science’ but they are, however, simple, so simple in fact you may be doing the same thing already and calling it common sense? Or you may find them useful to know, therefore I will share, they work for me…
The pattern pieces have been left on the fabric until the actual moment that you need to sew them as it helps with identification of each piece….
The Problem that this simple sewing tip fixes.
Time to remove the pattern from the fabric i.e. those small pieces of the neck facing and sew them all together, in your excitement at your progress, you leave the tiny pieces of tissue paper on the floor, and they start to drift around the room….
Later, you need to check the correct positioning of a pattern piece and want to refer to the actual pattern piece, but you can’t find it!
The solution: These small but handy, sturdy plastic bags. As I remove my pattern pieces from the fabric (especially the tiny pieces) I simply pop them inside the bag, with the pattern and any instruction info.
Only when I have completely finished sewing the garment do I then put everything back tidily in the envelope.
Even then keep the pattern stored in the bag, with any notes I have made about the pattern outside the envelope but in the bag, so when I am perusing patterns, I can easily see my notes.
It works for me, what works for you?
