If it's clothing, and not stage, costuming (because a lot of these would be
pointless for most stage costuming), what about:
* Different styles of buttonhole in different weights of cloth (sheers, wools,
silk)
* Gauging on different weights of fabric, and with different stitch
lengths/ratios
* Single, double, treble, stacked, etc pleating through a folded edge and
whipping to a waistband
* Installing hem facings, hem tapes
* Narrow-hemming by hand
* Double corded piping and two-color piping/binding
* Stroked gathering
* Setting flounces with a corded header
* Working with bias, bias folds, etc
* Tucks (pin tuck sets, release tucks, narrow tucks, deep sewn folds that mimic
flouncing on skirts)
* Covering buttons of various sizes with different types of cloth and making
thread/fabric shanks
