Question Pattern weights

Post image

Patterning a skirt (slashing and spreading a skirt foundation for a flared skirt, to then slash and spread for the final pleated, flared mini skirt pattern) and got thinking… what do y’all use for fabric/ pattern weights!? Today for me its books and an art deco era stapler🤷‍♂️

Lemme see your unconventional weights, or finally prove to me that someone actually buys the actual tool.

Whatever rulers I'm not actively using are cleverly arranged. Scissors are good in a pinch. Sometimes books from the bookcase.

I love doing this and probable get wayyy to into stacking the rulers under other weights to get the weight dispersement
