I use 2 gallon zip lock storage bags from Walmart to store cut out patterns/fabric until I'm ready to start the new project.

When I have a needle that still has life in it I put it back in the original case flat side up.

I do that also.

:) for sure!! Hey as much as possible. And as long as you have a system that’s what matters.

Hi All ... I have issues with my foot pedal sliding because I that horrible flat all-purpose carpeting in my apartment sewing room. I have managed to get the foot situated on a piece of 'good' shelving paper on a piece of silicone (cutting mat) ... but the silicone STILL slides along the carpet. Soooo ... I took one of my 3lb hand weights and put it in front of the foot and the foot wanders no more. My sewing machine table has a shelf that sits just a bit up from the floor ... the foot would slide to it and then my toes would suddenly be hitting the shelf and ... well ... I'm sure you all get the picture. The small hand weight is just wide enough to rest in front of the pedal. The silicone is awesome but in the sewing room dust and debris stick to it and the tackiness gets compromised. The weight helps keep it flat to the floor so less build up. The weight just works all around. Love to all ! Thank you, Sookie, for this awesome platform.

This is so great it helped you. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure someone will Be using this idea.

I liked the idea of coasters for pattern weights. If you're a diy'er use small left over tiles also.

@SookieSews 3 ай бұрын

Great idea! There are so many things you could do with them.

@robinr6399 5 ай бұрын

I don't have one of those seam rippers with the white 'get rid of the thread bits' thingies. But I DO have a Pentel click eraser. Think white eraser. Magic. Try it. For when your friend needs to use your ripper.😊

@SookieSews 5 ай бұрын

Ok ok now that’s a GREAT idea. Adding to the next video idea. Thank you 🙏 😊

The coasters (white tiles) can be found at Lowe’s and Home Depot for .16 . Much cheaper than those at the Dollar Store.

@SookieSews 13 күн бұрын

Excellent point

@lucindaculp3827 5 ай бұрын

Love the coasters for pattern weights! I think a mix of square and round would be especially helpful when laying out pieces with curves. Of course now I need to get some…

@SookieSews 5 ай бұрын

I totally agree! I'm on the hunt for some that go with my sewing room now. I really want either Bees or some pink flowers. But round and square might be nice!!

I'd never heard of Glad Press 'n Seal but it looks like it could have lots of good uses in the sewing room and in the kitchen.

It does! In one of the other Non-Sewing Sewing notion videos I talk about using it to help in cutting fluffy fabric. All ideas that come from the viewers :)

@conniel.4601 5 ай бұрын

I use 2” washers from the hardware store for pattern weights, cheap.

@SookieSews 5 ай бұрын

Nice :)

I hand sew two 2” washers together using left over batting and fabric. They work well

I'm so glad you like, I've got another list already started, I think I'm at 9 items, so by the time this videos gets another 1000 views I'm sure we'll come up with more :)

Saw someone used glass fermentation weights from Amazon for pattern weights

I cut a lot of my scrap fabric into 2 1/2” squares and sew light to dark as leaders and Enders on my projects. It’s amazing how fast they build up and then you have a start for scrappy projects…

@SookieSews 3 ай бұрын

Wonderful

@DD-ek8qc 3 ай бұрын

I loved the idea of using the packaging the dental picks came in. If you have the larger one, you could put your used needle that still has life and the needle container would also fit in there so you don't have to mark the container.

@SookieSews 3 ай бұрын

For sure there are so many ways to organize slightly used needles

@doloresjaramillo7809 4 ай бұрын

Hi there. I just watched your video, and great tips. The tip for your foot pedal is a great idea but another thing you can use is the shelf liner you can buy at the dollar store that grips on to whatever you put on top. I use that on mine and it keeps it from sliding all over the floor.

@SookieSews 4 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed. I believe we did cover your suggestion in one of the other 4 videos :) I love the idea of using a shelf liner :)

Needle threading idea was good. I keep several floss threaders in my sewing area. Fit in smaller eye needles also.

Use an old needle case for your old needles. You can even label them.

@arvettadelashmit9337 3 ай бұрын

The leader/ender problem can be solved by keeping a small second sewing project beside you. When you need a leader or ender, sew a seam on the Bonus Project. This saves thread, time, trouble with your machine, and gives you bonus patchwork (that can be used for borders, baby quilts, and many other things).

You can slide a short section of the parchment paper under your fabric so the fabric isn’t pulled down into the hole. Then you just tear it away. And you can keep small squares handy in one of those dental pick boxes.

@SookieSews 5 ай бұрын

Oh yes, great point! Especially since it's not fabric that is going to get caught in the fabric. Thanks for mentioning.

Always check local laws and fines before putting sharps in the trash. Pharmacies sell special sharps containers for a couple of dollars. Return the full container to the pharmacy where it was purchased. Putting sharps in regular garbage, even in a plastic container, is dangerous, hence laws and heavy fines against doing so.

@SookieSews 4 ай бұрын

Ok good to know - just checked with my state, FLORIDA. It says “not thrown loosely in trash or toilet” but as along as it’s in a sealed container it is ok. Thanks again. Always learning something new.
