Fabric Patterns

Never directly cut in your patern paper. Use tracing paper to trace your pieces and cut them in that. It will make your patern last longer and also if your size change you will still able to make the model. I know you posted this a long time ago I just wanted to give a little advice

Brilliant.
The only pattern I've ever done anything to keep and reuse is a hairband that I duct-taped the back.

that is the best god-damned idea i have ever heard. thanks sooo much!

Lovely idea!! I'm going to use this; corset making is really hard on tissue paper patterns!

Hmm, nice idea. You would need to store them in a bit of a bigger pouch, though. If you just dropped the original pouch in with it, you wouldn't lose the pattern number or required yards of fabric.

hello, super seemed strange that cuts the mold base and could not find first and recently photocopying a photocopy molderia pretended to be part of or directly traced with carbon paper molds poor magazines.
or can you got several hmmm ...
good your explanation seemed great, but do not agree with the idea of cutting the magazines that way. at least I was always taught in other ways.

You should never iron paper patterns especially if there is cotton in the paper ...it shrinks the size then the pattern will be smaller than what is should be (Ive tried to do that and I got yelled at by my pattern/sewing teacher.) Good idea just saying the size changes when the pattern is ironed

Wow I haven't sewn in a few years, but this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing ^ ^

*book marked* I love your tutorials

Interesting idea. If you're only making one piece, it certainly sounds like a good way to keep track of which is which.

When I'm sewing I've always found it a bit more economically feasible to use chalk or wax transfer paper and a tracing wheel, then go over the lines with a disappearing or washable marker. It certainly takes a lot longer, but is useful for multiple uses of the pattern.
