I checked and I can get a pack of 2 plastic tablecloths from the bargain shop for €1.49, and they look like they'd certainly be big enough for a pattern or two, depending on the pattern. Thank you so much for that suggestion!<br /><br />I keep thinking of getting the Renfrew because I haven't yet got a long-sleeved TNT top, but her body shape draft is so RADICALLY different from my actual body I can't bring myself to pull the trigger and buy it. It's not that I couldn't blend sizes, but I'd be blending across 4 different sizes to get the hips to fit and that just seems excessive. Plus, I get such good results from Ottobre patterns, already have every Ottobre Woman issue and therefore already own like 34509257 long-sleeved knit top patterns.<br /><br />westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-50932834767541378932013-10-03T23:17:55.867+01:002013-10-03T23:17:55.867+01:00Oops.

Nice scarf,...Oops. Forgot to comment on the makes.<br /><br />Nice scarf, I just might be capable of making one. Maybe. Cute t-shirt, it is lovely to have a TNT isn't it? My favourite is the darling of the sewing interweb The Renfrew. I'm on my third or fourth. It's lovely aging.ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-92066253161075967152013-10-03T23:14:12.887+01:002013-10-03T23:14:12.887+01:00I use mostly cheap plastic tablecloths from the do...I use mostly cheap plastic tablecloths from the dollar store for tracing. I find it holds up well, doesn't hold a crease after it has been folded, and is pinnable for fitting. And best of all cheap. I buy it by the roll for around $12 CAD, but you could buy it per tablecloth cheaply enough, I'm sure. I mostly use white, but every now and then I get whimsical and buy pink or yellow or lavender. White is easier to see through. Give it a shot, it certainly is cheaper than Swedish tracing paper (which I'm not sure I like that much anyway).
