If you have a tissue printed pattern, back it with fusible interfacing. The tissue will not tear and will be still be flexible to fold. I use to do this with all my clothes patterns and they are still as good as new. Pattern companies have great craft/quilting patterns now.

Save an empty prescription bottle (you know...the amber colored ones) in your sewing room for old...dull...bent...broken needles and pins. When the bottle is full just throw away the entire bottle. That way no needles or pins directly in the garbage.

Funny thing is, I was using the pill bottle until I just read that hint. Silly olde lady!
