Pattern tracing
#11
It has been awhile since we talked. How have you been? Have you used up the box of fabric you bought from me a few years ago up yet?

I also use the paper packaging some companies crumble up to cushion items for shipment. I just iron it flat again and fold it up. I use my light box to trace on that since it is not exactly see through.....lol
I just thought this was the coolest thing to have around.

I use a product called pattern ease, feels like sewn in interfacing. I like this better than paper for clothing patterns as it does not rip when you pin it and cut it out and will last forever. I buy it by the roll. It's available at JoAnn's and your LQS.

I use that too. And if it's a new pattern, I also watch the 5 for $5.00 patterns from Joann's when they have the sale & buy an extra one ( I started doing this when I messed up the first one that I bought)

Wonderful stuff, the table paper. I think I have been though at least 5 rolls. I especially like it for doll clothes or baby clothes. If you lose one of the small pieces you can go back to the orginal pattern and trace a new one. Had a nurse friend give me several rolls with advertising on it that they can no longer use so now I have a lifetime supply. Bad part is that she works for a urologist.

I use inexpensive muslin to make patterns. I buy it by the bolt with a coupon and use it for all sorts of things. If the pattern is sheer pattern paper I put my pattern on top of the muslin and draw around the pattern with a permanent marker. The marker bleeds through to the muslin and then I cut the muslin pattern out. I like to use muslin because when placing the muslin pattern on your fabric it doesn't move around much and so minimal pinning is necessary. I mark grain lines and any other information on the muslin. If the pattern is on stiffer paper then I put the muslin on top and trace the pattern.
