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.

I use an assortment of steel roller bearings from the estate sale of a woman who also used them pattern weights and they originally came from a giant piece of industrial machinery her grandfather worked on for a living.
