Anyway, use a piece of scrap first, but I do remember learning in school that you could iron your patterns to a cleaners bag to make them last longer. <br /><br />Also, use a hole punch to mark the dots, and then either mark the fabric with a washable marker or - back in the "olde" days - use powdered chalk/ That way, you don't have to mess up the patterns with a pin wheel and dressmaker's carbon.Lady Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608765381189723792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-53465330040562219862010-05-19T18:49:49.224-07:002010-05-19T18:49:49.224-07:00I could probably trace it...isn't it funny tha...I could probably trace it...isn't it funny that this is a nicer outfit than most of my neighbors wear to church?Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-37707743883621493682010-05-19T14:35:37.185-07:002010-05-19T14:35:37.185-07:00I have been buying vintage patterns lately.

Then I can put the vintage pieces away and use the vilene to cut my fabric. <br /><br />This is the method I use for Burda magazine patterns. All of the patterns are on two sheets of paper, and you have to trace the pieces you want.<br /><br />I love this pattern.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427207717658107729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-29035805195963259672010-05-19T10:43:08.711-07:002010-05-19T10:43:08.711-07:00Such a lovely pattern.
