Weights instead of pins!

I have some Beading projects at the experimental stage and it will take some more time to post about....
So, in the meantime.......for something completely different....
It´s been a long time that I posted one of my sewing projects.
That one is going to be a hooded coat, and I upgraded my sewing equipment a bit with some weights for the cut. I did not see this before and find it spectacular : Weights instead of pins!

I bought them from a sewing equipment store, but maybe some really big iron washers from the hardware store will do the same!

  4. Saves so much time not having to pin and makes it easier to cut out. I too, can't wait to see the finished coat - love the tartan - and your new beadwork. I am also very impressed that you have started creating - work begins tomorrow over here.
