I get a lot of newsletters from different sewing companies/groups in my email inbox. The only reason I really stay subscribed is because I like to stay aware of what's trending and how things are going generally in the sewing world. I usually quickly scan & delete the emails.
Today's Seamwork newsletter had a tip, but there's an easier way to do the same thing without buying special pins! Don't bother with special pins - that just means you'll have to keep up with them and keep them sorted and separate from your regular pins! (How often do you walk away from your pins or scissors and then need them from across the room as it is?)
Swipe to see how I mark a start and/or stop point without special pins. Both of my examples are often also used by coworkers and make it easy to pass something off to someone else in the shop if you need to.
Do you have a favorite way of marking stop points?

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
More on the Michael's purchase of JoAnn. "Ever-expanding" plus it went on to say they will be carrying sewing machines, notions, and thread in stores. And there was a 50% off one item coupon - let me know if any of you need that.
I'm kind of surprised I have to sign up for emails (not sure if I want to yet) considering how many companies sell email lists.
I finally finished the patchwork jeans! @SewBrooke , the elastic in the waistband suggestion worked brilliantly. I ended up taking it as close to the button/buttonholes as I could, because the waistband I originally picked had the buttons on the wrong side and I had to piece it together/the second waistband was also collapsed in from wear. I really don’t know why, I checked against all of my jeans and I did put the fly on the correct side! Anyway, it’s done, and I’ll be happy to come up with a project that takes much less time. After I clean up the leftover bits— it looks like I used 7 pairs of jeans/shorts, so I have a lot of tops and leftover leg/waistband scraps!
