I save the most time by using a rotary cutter and weights. It looks like that trick is a common short cut among this sewing circle!

<p>I try to skip anything that involves hand stitching, so I've recently learned to sew the lining to the zipper by machine instead of by hand - I don't know if it counts as a shortcut, but there's no turning back here!</p>
<p>Also, I'm ashamed to confess that may be some raw edges in garments I know I'm not going to wear a lot.</p>

mm, I probably have more than I can think of right now, but most of the time I don't do muslins, I don't always finish the edges leaving them rawwwwwwwww, I don't always hem but put some handmade bias tape to contrast instead, I cut 2 (or more) of the same pattern at a time to mass produce, I've sometimes cut the pattern and the fabric in one go...

<p>I am in the process of trying to break my bad shortcut habit – as it hasn’t been working out very well for me lately! I usually just check the pattern size chart, cut out the pieces, sew it together and try it on at the end – bypassing any proper fitting/muslins during the process. It had worked okay for me but lately – no such luck and I’ve had to give away a number of things I love because they don’t fit! Am trying to be more disciplined with fitting – but I’m too impatient!</p>

French seams because I am way too lazy to get the iron out, press the seams then zigzag stitch them-french seams are just to quick straight lines :)
