Photocopy the pattern page and insert into a plastic sheet protector. No more ratty patterns!

Store threads and yarn in ziploc bags when travelling or picking up while your waiting during errands and appointments. You can open a corner of the bag to let the thread through when your doing your needlework. This helps keep your threads clean and everything stored neatly in the bag so you can get up quickly without having to rush and put everything back in your bag.

Use a sticky note to mark your place on the pattern, moving down as needed. When the sticky note loses its stickiness or gets too worn, just replace with another.

For needlework, place a white cloth on your lap before starting. This will help you keep track of your dark threads underneath your project’s fabric.
