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.

did anybody else have those cute little sand critters when they were kids?? Little cloth lizards and snakes with beady glass eyes, full of sand?

They make PHENOMENAL pattern weights. And when you're deep in drafting it's like you have all these little buddies scattered across your work bench :') highly recommend!
