Use a Safety Pin to Pull Strings Through

A safety pin can come in quite handy in many different circumstances when you are working on a sewing project.

Whether you are sewing a bathing suit with a drawstring or a pair of pants or a sweatshirt, this little trick can save you some time. One simple safety pin can help a lot.

You can also use a needle with a large eye or something similar, but not everyone has one of those easily accessible while most people have a safety pin lying around.
