Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! It’s tip time…
Keep a container for discarded sharps in your sewing space.
Sewing requires needles and pins and other small sharp items. Eventually they dull or break or bend and you are faced with tiny shards of sharp metal. Have a designated container where you can drop them while you’re working and dispose of them safely later.
I keep a pill bottle next to my sewing table for just this purpose. The child-proof cap makes me feel secure that the cats, even Bartholomew the engineering genius, can’t get at them. Lots of items can be repurposed thusly — an Altoids tin, a small jar, etc.
Happy and safe sewing!
