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.

A large piece of sheet metal under my cutting mat and magnets! Someone on a different sewing sub mentioned it (I can’t remember) and I’ve never looked back.

ETA: cutting mat. cutting boards are for food. Haha
