500 Sewing Tips, Tricks, Techniques, and Hacks is a nice general guide full of tips for increasing productivity and enjoyment and getting the most out of sewing time, collected and curated by Ashley Hough. Due out 24th Feb 2026 in Oceania (Aus/NZ/PNG) from Fox Chapel on their Landauer imprint, it's 280 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. Book released in other English speaking areas and available from Nov 2025.
This is an easy to understand and use collection of tips and hacks for sewing and fiber arts. The pages are full of short entries (several per page); most are one or two paragraphs, enhanced with illustrations and photos. The tips are arranged thematically: tools, techniques, patterns, closures, finishing, hand sewing, needle knowledge, thread, fabric, and form and function.
The author has an upbeat casual voice and a solid grasp on technique.
Four stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or home library reference, and for sewing/makers groups.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
