Last...I use cheap interfacing to trace my patterns. Last time I think I bought a 10 metre roll for about $8, but it depends what I can get at the time. I just go to the fabric store and buy the cheapest, thinnest one I can find. I like it because it is a bit sticky, so unless I'm sewing with a slippery fabric I don't have to pin. I just lay my pattern on top and cut carefully. It's easy to do pattern adjustments on, too, and if I want to do a quick drape fit it acts mostly like fabric. Because I use the cheapest, thinnest one, it starts to look a bit sad if I use the pattern five or more times - but if I'm using a pattern that much I'm happy to trace it!Craftastrophiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-34837562872662347772012-11-09T00:19:56.633+01:002012-11-09T00:19:56.633+01:00I did the cut and fold thing a few time and I was ...I did the cut and fold thing a few time and I was just heartbroken to see my patterns so battered!<br />The tissue bag is a great suggestion, especially as a last resource!Paunnethttp://paunnet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-29485019536596531992012-11-09T00:19:55.921+01:002012-11-09T00:19:55.921+01:00I googled it and it seems a great idea, where do y...I googled it and it seems a great idea, where do you find it?Paunnethttp://paunnet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-78311377154557313712012-11-09T00:17:08.819+01:002012-11-09T00:17:08.819+01:00yes, i understand but i will try your technique us...yes, i understand but i will try your technique using that Mala paper in ikea.

Still a lot of work, and it pretty much still destroyed my pattern pieces. Now I trace and leaving my pattern sheets in tact really appeals to my obsessive-compulsive side. <br />I have also used the rolls of tissue that you can buy at the art store. My dad is an architect and always had some in the house, then when I was in graphic design school, we used it every day for one project or another—so it's always been on hand. When I got married, I had an overabundance of that cheap, dollar store tissue used in gift bags, so I started using that to trace patterns. It's probably the most flimsy non-lasting material I could use, but since I don't use my patterns that many times over, and I'm careful with them, it works for me. It's cheap and easy to get a hold of, and just about the same weight as the tissue that comes in the envelope. And it's easy to pin through.trumbelinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-17879124483597257202012-11-09T00:14:24.772+01:002012-11-09T00:14:24.772+01:00A hot tip I received from Lizzy ages ago was to us...A hot tip I received from Lizzy ages ago was to use those disposable plastic tablecloths if you are stuck without tracing paper.

I hoped I could use it like that when I bought it, but it's too opaque.Paunnethttp://paunnet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-77369556971580014162012-11-09T00:13:34.142+01:002012-11-09T00:13:34.142+01:00In Asia, we are using brown pattern paper.

Since i couldn't find it here, So, am using such transparent tracing paper which they call it here in Poland 'karta tekniczna' it comes with sizes. I am using the bigger size like you are using. Usually used for drafting, drawings for engineers like that of the architect. Other than that paper, i use the baking paper transparent one. But good you mentioned that paper from Ikea so i might grab one in my next ikea visit. I agree with you Anna, that tracing patterns might be tedious job but worth it. you can use the pattern over and over again.... if you want another size or if friends wants me to make one for them. I am loving this sew-along :-D Cheers!Ainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113771492873050409.post-58994479441638142442012-11-09T00:12:40.621+01:002012-11-09T00:12:40.621+01:00All sizes?
