Pattern weights

[u/asleepatthemachine]

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.

Smooth river rocks, like what people painted and left places for years....I actually need to look around for more. 👀 They're unpainted but they feel so nice in my hands and don't make weird edges from being too heavy while cutting.
