Best ideas yet for tracing patterns

Such a great idea. Thank you!

Wonderful idea! Plan on using it! Thanks

Your idea is amazing. Where did you get your pattern weights?

That was very interesting. I may give it a try because I am always cutting the wrong lines on my pattern pieces. Thanks for sharing.

What a fantastic idea! Cant wait to put it to use. Thank you!

I found you 8 years later but better late than never. This is brilliant. 2 mil plastic is easy to come by and works very well.

Nice hands; Yea, I already cut mine out 😐 That's a cool Idea young the 4 mil clear plastic. I bout Driz Template Sheets which are very sturdy and clear, but they're not much larger than a sheet of paper. Some of my pattern pieces are larger than the template sheets. ✂📏🖊 I like how the plastic covers the entire pattern, no matter how large. You don't have to tape template sheets together to get the size you need. Great Job👍

This is basically what I do with paper. The fact that you can use this as basically a muslin as well as a pattern is neat. It saves a step and seems like it would be more durable than copying a pattern onto paper.

I wish i found this tip long time ago. Brilliant

OMG! This seems so much easier than using a tracing wheel! I'm going to try this this weekend <3

I know this is an older video but I just wanted to thank you! The tip about stapling your pattern together to see if it fits is brilliant!

I’ve been looking for this exact process! Thank you!

I've been using waxed paper instead of the plastic sheeting for years, the only drawback is that you can't pin it around you. The advantage is that I always have wax paper on hand.

Thanks for the tip, was looking for ideas and this seems the easiest I've come across.

I'm new to sewing and this is great info!

So helpful! I can’t find any other lessons on this topic on your channel - did you end up doing them?

Great video.I'm definitely going to try this. Just as a note for UK viewers, 4mil seems to be equivalent to 400g or 400 gauge plastic sheeting. I couldn't find that size anywhere but I plan to try the 500g version.

just wondering how you transfer the markings onto fabric with this plastic pattern piece? thanks?

How do you transfer your pattern to the fabric? Thanks

Do you know any cruelty free makeup you can find at a drugstore?

Thanks for taking the time to share tips and tricks I am new to sewing love this trick to not cut up your patterns. Adding to my skill set.

Waste of time. Plastic is way too slippery to accurately cut out once on the fabric.

Genius

Fantastic!

Thank you so very much for posting this!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Am a sewing newbie and am just venturing out into actually using patterns to sew garments, have googled many ways to transfer patterns and this appears to be the easiest and best way. Thank you for sharing!

What size is your dinning room table, please. I'm trying to figure out how to get a piece of wood to use on my bed for when I sew... or transfer patterns.

How does the plastic work with the fabric?

Thank you. You've made it seem so much easier and fun.

What a great idea using the plastic. I will use this idea with my next sewing project which is tracing out a shorts pattern which is within a pants pattern (all-in-one pattern). So, thank you for this idea.

Best idea ever. Thanks for posting.

This also looks like a sturdy material for a pattern size that gets used multiple times. I am making my samples all one size (small) and this is just what I needed. I wish it wasn't 1am....I will have to try this tomorrow. You Rock JS!

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for sharing this!.. You ROCK!👍👍👍

I have two styles on one pattern i can choose a shorter lenght with short. Hi low or waterfall bottom on longest lenght how would i copy that, according to the shape i want it seems like i have to copy the back like flipping pattern over to make the right side...i only got one front side n one back side. Thank you sam

My pattern only has two pieces, since there it shapes I can't use to make peice without having to flip one over otherwise I'll have two right sides or two left pain in the rear...lol

Do most patterns already have seem allowance in the size or do I have to add it? Thank you so much for this idea, I have a waterfall dress pattern that has different length and shapes to change shape so since I'm 5ft tall I need to make adjustment right away and doing it your way would help me shrink length then transfer to make my size correct right off! Thanks bunches!

Genius

Thankyou this is such a smart way of doing it!! I learned a lot in just one video

this is genius! thank you for sharing!!

My plastic sheeting has deep creases how do you smooth it out. I love this method!

That looks easier than the other one I saw TY.

one of the best tips I've seen! used it today, a great idea that ACTUALLY works, I'm hooked!... great of you to share it with us, many thanks 👍

Do you give sewing lessons for example in your house if so I need some because am very new I need basics and school sewing are fast I need to go slow because am disabled ca you help me

Thanks very well ecplained can you do the same with a simple pattern am very new

Brilliant idea. Is it possible to use this to extend sizes on ready made patterns? I'd like to extend sizes on several patterns and think it would be a wonderful idea.

You are SO helpful!! ❤️ so glad I found your channel.

Brilliant idea. I make kids costumes, and make multiple sizes from the same pattern, so don't want to cut my original pattern.

Yessss, finally!!! I’ve been racking my brain to find a fast easy way , I’ve tried it all but this. This is genius , thanks!
