My grandma is someone that used to sew everything in the world for me. She had an entire workshop in her basement and now that she is gone, I carry on the tradition all the time. As I was sewing the other day, I thought about what sewing hacks are really out there … and that led to this post! What other sewing hacks are out there that you have?
