I made some pattern weights for my daughter. She makes bags for a living so I chose these bag designs from Artistic Threadsworks. I filled them with plastic stuffing beads, hopefully they'll be heavy enough. I put a hanger on them so she can put them on her pegboard when not in use.

cute and what a good idea! Bet she loves them!!

I really must make some pattern weights. I have plenty of cute designs. Your daughter is obviously very talented since she makes bags for a living. It is obvious that you were a great teacher of creating great things with your hands ;-)

I love the designs too

Like the decoration you have embroidered, mine are only blank. What do you use for the stuffing?

I used plastic stuffing beads, for dolls and stuff. I hope they are heavy enough.

Great idea Sally and I know they'll get used often. Love Chris

Thanks Christine!

Clever idea. I had a small pattern piece on the table yesterday and the aircon kept blowing it off. Would have saved my back.

Thanks, she tried to take mine the last time she was home so she will get some use out of these!

What a wonderful idea for pattern weights! Since your daughter makes bags for a living, the designs you picked out are perfect.
