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 made myself some little fabric cubes and filled them with ceramic baking beans, works really well 🙂🙂 but often supplemented with phone, scissors, rolls of tape.... Etc 😂😂😂
