Intro

This is how I trace and cut pattern pieces without cutting into the pattern. It's good when you're not sure of a size, or you want to use the pattern for different people. OR when you have a vintage pattern you just don't want to cut. And it allows for curves, too. As demonstrated on my spring uniform seen at http://fitzfabulous.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/how-to-trace-a-pattern-without-cutting-it/ and http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/spring-uniform-cynthia-rowley-tunics

Technique Materials

Pattern Fabric Pattern weights -- cans work, so do washers to weigh the paper firmly down. I use washable markers on washable fabrics or chalk on more sensitive fabrics. Couple of pins for each pattern piece Scissors
