Triangle Fabric Weights Sewing Tutorial

5

Make your own weights for sewing with this 10 minutes fabric weights tutorial. Perfect for skipping pins when tracing your patterns but cute enough to use as home decor!

FABRIC WEIGHTS TUTORIAL

Fabric weights tutorial

Pattern weights are a great alternative to pins for holding pattern pieces onto fabric when you’re tracing them off or cutting them out, especially on slippery fabric. This fabric weights tutorial makes cute little triangle sachets that you can use as weights or as air freshener when left around the house. Simply add a few drops of your favorite oils!

I use these for both purposes and also because they’re so darn cute! I like to have them laying around the house for no practical reason, really. They have a little ribbon loop so you can hook it onto something or grab it easy.
You can use them in your drawers and maybe your fabric shelf too!

This fabric weights tutorial is also a great project for beginners where they get the chance to practice sewing a triangle (which might sound scary but it’s so insanely easy!). And it’s a great scrap buster! The size on these little sachets is quite small but you can easily adjust it to fit your needs and style.

    I followed the directions. But i couldn’t get the walnuts to fit in the hole. So i re-read the materials and saw that the walnuts were supposed to be crushed. Not to hard but they looked a lot like peanut butter. Not to mention…the crushed walnuts began to stink after a month. Think i will try the rice next time.

      Hi there. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with walnuts, not sure why your walnuts gone bad! Unless they are kept in a humid environment or the package has been opened already for a while, walnuts are expected to last for several months.

      You have missed that part, yes! If you scroll down the post, after the last paragraph on that first page you will be able to see a big sign saying “Click to continue reading” which will send you to the second page where the tutorial is.

    I used to have one of these but I used it to remind myself to get on my knees and pray. I would put it on my pillow when I got up and had to move it to the floor so I might as well get on my knees to prayer. Yours is much more adorable. Thanks for sharing on Let’s Get Real Friday Link Up.

    I really must make some weights instead of using my sticky tape holder and scissors. Featured today, Petro.
