So glad to hear this!! ☺️💜

Before I acquired hem clips, I used good ol' fashioned Goody bobby pins to hold hems in place. Oh, and old sad irons make great pattern weights.

You can use commercial needle cases for a hump jumper.

Ah yes, such a great tip, thank you! Reuse those needle cases!

Love seeing you use old irons as weights i have two of them for the same purpose,when not in use for sewing,i used them as doorstops😊😊😊

They do make great doorstops, yes! 😄

I love your list. I totally agree with the pattern notcher. I see so few people using or suggesting one. It makes it so much easier to get everything marked when cutting out.

Wow. That was super helpful. Thanks for sharing this. This is a great list. I love the idea of using a beautiful ceramic bowl to catch clips. A brilliant way to add another pop of color and style. Hi from Kingston, Jamaica! 🙂

Yes, thank you! I also love adding in those items for the color and different ways of re-using existing things in the home. I love Jamaica, thank you for your note! 💜✨

Thanks for your insights on the tools you use -- I picked up some great insights from you.

Love this video. I keep my embroidery snips on a lanyard/ribbon around my neck while I’m sewing because I hate having to find it!😂 I also love my seam gauge and my Hot Hemmer! Hems and I do not get along and those tools help! One you didn’t mention that I love is my pair of pinking shears.

On a lanyard--smart! I'd do that with a seam gauge, too. 😆 I love the tip for pinking shears, too! I think I need a better quality pinking shear. Do you use it to prevent fraying mostly, or for another reason?

Great video...thank you!

Awesome to hear this!! ✨💜

Instead of beautiful wall paper or paint, I line the walls around my sewing machine area with brown Kraft paper! I pin stuff on it, write notes and do math all over it! When it’s too marked up, I toss it, I just thumbtack a new strip up and start again! The Kraft paper is so cheap! I got the idea from Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gylenhall. They use it in their home and people write stuff on it when they visit!

For the LDH rotary cutter, how often do you find you have to change the blades! Thanks for a wonderful video!

@cleow

I can go months! Not sure exactly how often it worked out to be, but I bought a five pack of blades that lasted at least a couple of years! Thanks for your kind note! ✨💜

I miss your videos...

I love your list Cleo thankyou. Do you also use the pattern notcher for fabric not just the pattern?

@cleow

5 ай бұрын

Oh yes, great question and I think you definitely can! I do wonder if it would dull them, and then be ineffective, though. Also, I tend to play it safe and only want to snip the smallest possible notch I can on the actual fabric. (I have cut too far into the seam allowance in the past! 😂)

I have been on the fence about a pattern notcher because it doesn’t cut a notch in the fabric too but will buy one now that I have seen how you use it. Thank you
