Hello - newbie here
I'm coming back to sewing after a long absence (I've been busy knitting for the last few years).
I really want to make some things that there aren't patterns for, so I'd like to have a go at making my own. I've got a book (!) and my mum's going to help me, as she learnt from a Chinese tailor over 40 years ago.
But the thing I'm wondering is - what do people do about paper? I've had a look on all the haberdashery sites, and no one seems to sell blank pattern paper. I've thought about using tissue paper (too flimsy), greaseproof paper (too stiff and not wide enough), tracing paper (also too stiff/narrow)...
Are there any bright ideas out there? By all means, suggest vendors if you know of them, but I'm in the UK.
Thanks in advance.
