Some of you were curious as to how my pattern weights turned out. I found that they were sadly not adequate. The pattern slid around under the weights as I was cutting. Perhaps I did not have enough weight in the weights- perhaps I need to try it with different "filler." I just saw this tutorial for some really cute pattern weights, that sound like they work. The difference I notice between what I made and Sew Can She's is that hers are a bit smaller. I think the ceramic weights pictured in the first photo look more like what I need though!
I wonder what the hardware store could lend to the fabric studio....
