How can I handle those little pieces when sewing?

Sew 1st, Cut Later

When making very small clothes, copy the pattern onto the material, do not cut out. Sew any seam before you cut out the piece. This gives you a larger piece of material to work with. I learned this trick when making the hats for Donna RuBert`s Wee Little Friends.
