Organize Your Fabric with 5 Rung Pant Hangers
It’s always nice to see your fabric organized and in order at all times. This way it can save you space and time looking for the right color or pattern of fabric. So try using a 5 rung pant hanger to organize it all!
Prefer Mini Clothespins Instead of Straight Pins
If you want sewing bindings and pipings to be hassle free, try using a mini clothespin. Because of how thick the fabric can get, it does a better job at keeping the layers lined together than a simple pin.
Use a Soap Bar for Pins
I seriously like this idea because the pins and needles are coated in soap, which will make them easier to insert through the fabric! Make it – Love it’s demonstration of this hack definitely look cute!
Pinked Seams
Turns out that this pinked shears are a great help in trimming seam allowance. It leaves an attractive edge and can be done quickly without having things unravel!
DIY Bobbin Storage
Now if you have a toe separator (the kind used for a pedicure) at home you can keep your bobbins organized and together by storing them in a foam toe separator. Now that’s a super simple hack!
Uniform Seam Allowance
This trick will make your sewing faster and more fun. Just put a rubber-band around two pencils together and voila, you can have a uniform seam allowance in an instant!
Smooth Out Your Pattern
If you’re someone who often uses a pattern, then you’ve probably noticed that your paper gets too wrinkled and folded overtime. Straighten it back like when you first bought by ironing it out.
Dental Floss Gather
If you’re working on a pattern that requires gathering long fabric into a shorter piece of fabric, then zigzag over dental floss so you can gather. Believe me, the end result is going to be pretty and you can gather in way less time!
