Cheap + Easy Pattern Weights from Home Depot

September 28, 2017 by Jennifer Moore Leave a Comment

Using pattern weights vs pins to hold down your sewing pattern tissue to fabric can make the process faster and easier.

Instead of purchasing dedicated pattern weights, I found some 3/4″ (inside diameter) metal washers at Home Depot for 40 cents each.

These were perfect – weighty enough, smooth, and small to fit in fairly tight curves/angles.
In this video, I show you how I use pattern weights with your sewing pattern.

If you don’t feel like going out to the store – (of course) Amazon sells similar washers.

That’s where I post fabric, sewing patterns, and other goodies. That will also be the place where I may occasionally try to sell sewn items and other miscellaneous things as part of that social experiment I was talking about toward the end of a previous live show.
