Over the years I have learned a lot of sewing hacks that I wish I knew at the beginning of my sewing journey :) . This video shares just a few!
I admit that not everyone is going to approve! Especially you perfectionists out there!

Fabric ripping is one of my favorite techniques. I love how it stays on the grain of the fabric and it you get a really nice line. BUT, you can only do this with high quality 100% cotton fabric! So be careful!

Since I know you are wondering, here are some of the things I used in this video...
