Streamlined Sewing:  
10 Timely Tips  
Look for projects and patterns with limited  
pieces and little detail. Take classes to learn  
new techniques instead of trying to figure it  
out on your own. In the long run, you will  
pick it up faster and will waste less time than  
using the trial and error method.  
Keep a log or journal of all of your sewing  
projects. Most sewers give away the  
majority of their creative pursuits and it is  
sometimes easy to feel defeated and un-  
motivated; but when you look at all you’ve  
accomplished, it will keep you excited and  
spur you on!  
If possible, leave your machine out and  
available at all times. The less you have to  
do to “get ready” to sew, the more likely you  
will frequently stop and stitch.  
Make it a ritual to keep your machine clean  
and in tip-top shape. Have it serviced  
during your birthday month and make a  
concerted effort to do quick cleanings on a  
regular basis.  
Read pattern instructions thoroughly before  
beginning and highlight any parts that look a  
little tricky or unfamiliar. Visualize each step  
and work through it in your head, trying to  
anticipate any unusual areas. Mark a big X  
over the sections that don't apply to your  
project. This will make it easy to keep your  
place, and prevent confusion caused by  
reading extraneous directions.  
Organize projects with pattern, cut fabric,  
and notions packaged together so you  
don’t waste time “getting ready”.  
Think through each task and decide if it is  
something you can do by machine rather  
than by hand. Not only is it usually  
faster to sew techniques such as  
sewing on buttons by machine,  
it often lasts longer and  
Discipline yourself to sew regularly even if  
it is only 10 minutes at a time. It’s amazing  
how much those little snippets of time add  
up and before you know it, you’ve finished  
another project!  
doesn’t have to be  
redone in the near  
future.  
Be prepared. Keep a tote bag with you for  
hand sewing items or related reading so  
you can make good use of your time when  
attending ball games, waiting at the  
dentist, or commuting to work by  
car pool, bus, or train.  
Group your tasks and work in an assembly  
line fashion. Spend an evening cutting out  
patterns, another one seaming and joining  
the major pieces, and another working on  
the finishing details. The less you jump  
around, the faster your projects will come  
together.
