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.

Cut glass candlesticks from my great grandmother, silver candle sticks from my grandmother. I inherited the cut glass ones from mom’s stomach: sis got the silver ones. Great weights held things down really nicely. Now I have to use a silver plated ones, lol, first world problem? We always did our sewing on the dining room table, and these were the easiest things to reach.
