Make Your Own Pattern Weights

For 1 little bag you need 2 3 inch x 3 inch square pieces and a piece of ribbon of about 5 inch and about 1.5 oz of rice. For the full tutorial go to: https://madamsew.com/blogs/sewing-blog/make-your-own-pattern-weights Pattern weights are a sewing basic if you are into making clothes with patterns. Instead of pinning the pattern pieces to your fabric, you can just lay the pieces on top of your fabric and trace them. If you are cutting pattern pieces with a rotary cutter and you want to move fast, you can also position the fabric on your cutting mat, place the pattern piece on top, and carefully maneuver around the pattern pieces. Even when I’m not working with patterns, I frequently use my pattern weights on my cutting mat to prevent big fabric pieces from sliding off my cutting table or to just keep them in place. You can buy pattern weights in a store but they are so easy to make and are great scrap busters. I simply use rice for the filling. Between leftover fabric from projects past and pantry staples, I bet you have everything at hand to get started with this little project!Check out our bestselling 32 piece presser foot set here: http://bit.ly/2kbUXk9 Sew Easy, Sew Effortlessly with Madam Sew.
