Pattern weights for sewing enthusiasts
Pattern weights to make yourself: a simple DIY well suited for beginners. Pattern weights are indispensable for sewing enthusiasts. They hold your pattern paper in place while cutting, without having to use pins that can leave holes in the fabric.
The nice thing is that you can very easily make your own patterned weights using scraps of non-stretch fabrics and some rice as filling.
Tips:
- Fill your patterned weights with lavender for a fresh scent.
- Give your homemade pattern weights as gifts to other sewing enthusiasts.
- Use “old” pieces of clothing as fabric for a vintage vibe think: old jeans, leftover tablecloth, pieces of canvas, etc.
