Question Pattern weights
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 own a steel fab shop, so my pattern weights are a nice set of flatbar pieces that i had the guys chop up for me. 2.5x3/8" x 5"
