Check out these adorable DIY pattern weights, perfect for those times when using straight pins just isn’t practical for cutting fabric. This fun little project comes with a free pattern and tutorial! When sewing, remember to use a 1/4 inch seam allowance. These pattern weights measure 2 1/4 inches tall and 2 inches wide when finished. To make them, gather some scraps of canvas cotton and lightweight fusible interfacing, and for stuffing, rice or bean bag pellets work like a charm.
