So, you’ve brought your brand-new sewing pattern home — exciting! You carefully unfold the pattern sheet, ready to get started… but then what?
You could cut straight into the sheet, trimming out your chosen size. But what happens if you want to sew it again later in a different size or make adjustments to the fit? Once you’ve cut into the original, those other sizes are gone for good.
When you use Patterntrace Swedish Tracing Paper, your original sewing pattern stays protected and reusable. It’s perfect for both PDF sewing patterns and printed versions, giving you a ready-to-sew template whenever creativity calls.
Your traced sewing pattern pieces can be easily adjusted to fit your shape. With a bit of washi tape and a good pattern adjustment tutorial, you’ll have a personalised pattern ready to sew.
To get started, you’ll need a few simple tools. Patterntrace Swedish Tracing Paper is lightweight, durable, and semi-transparent for easy tracing. Use highlighter pencils to mark your size lines, and a sharp pencil or fine pen for clear, crisp edges. Pattern weights keep everything in place, while washi tape helps with joining or adjustments. Finish with a ruler or French curve to perfect your seam lines.
