I started off my work day today by recovering my cutting table, which is a large piece of plywood covered with a cotton mattress cover, with a cotton sheet over that. I have it across two rolling steel shelf units that are adjusted to a nice working height. I am always looking for cotton sheets at thrift stores, etc. because my iron doesn't glide so nicely over ones with polyester content.
It's a really nice feeling to have a fresh work surface. Almost like having nice clean sheets on the bed.
I found these great little weights...Healthways, Glamour Belles.....at an estate sale on Sunday. I almost didn't pick them up, because they were missing the bars to put them on, but I'm glad I got them.
Aren't they cute. They're pink!
I never use pins when cutting out a pattern, but sometimes I use weights to hold the pattern in place while I cut the fabric. I have a couple of other sets of pattern weights but these will be my new favorites.

I love the idea of using weights! Good idea!
I never knew there was such a thing. I hate pinning things down to cut them. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for weights.
