GET MORE OUT OF YOUR PATTERNS

Do you hate it when you buy a pattern and are forced to make only 1 size or have to fold that flimsy paper? Or do you hate just working with that thin paper? I have a tip. My sewing master has shared her insight and after it being tried and true I am giving it to you!

Here is your average flimsy pattern. This particular pattern is for a baby dress. 

Notice how this pattern comes in small - extra large. Well I am sorry but babies grow! So here is my tip......

Take yourself down to Home Depot and for $10 you get 250 square feet of this plastic see-through sheeting. Lay this over your pattern and use a magic marker to draw the size pattern. Then cut this out and viola!

You have your size. Just make sure to draw all instructions on there. This works just as good pinning to material to cut out your fabric.

There you have it. Massive production of one or multiple patterns. You never have to buy 3 patterns for its different sizes or try and fold that irritating paper again!
