patterns



I'm accumulating a pile of patterns... Most are generations of modifications, with pieces of course getting mixed up, disappearing and re-appearing in the wrong pattern pile. Does anybody know where I can get some proper pattern making paper?

Starting on a new sweatshirt/jacket today in windbloc fleece from Malden Mills, who sell their range of fabrics by the yard online.

And yes, I'm flossing a Gingher dressmaking shears bracelet in the above photo.

proper pattern making paper? Like that cool old time-y tissue papery stuff? I've looked for it and have been told by some cranky old sewing ladies that it has gone the way of the dodo bird. I hope it's not true!

Pete has these rolls of pattern paper that have little marking dots all over it so that you can use it to plot your curves or something. I've been using normal paper, which sucks. Vellum is pretty good though, and the heavier stuff won't tear which is great.

Nice! Where did he get the dotted paper?
