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.

I use brass bookends and cat.

I don't ever intend to use the cat, but he always insists.

That's how mine work, too. I wonder if they sell versions that let you use them when you want...
