What do I need to start tracing sewing patterns?

To trace sewing patterns you'll usually need tracing paper, pattern paper, dressmaker's carbon paper or a tracing wheel, plus pattern weights or clips to keep everything in place while you work.

What is dressmaker's carbon paper used for?

Dressmaker's carbon paper is used to transfer pattern markings, darts, notches and construction lines from a paper pattern onto fabric when used alongside a tracing wheel.

What's the difference between pattern paper and tracing paper?

Pattern paper is typically used for drafting, altering and creating new patterns, while tracing paper is designed for copying existing sewing patterns and transferring markings.

Can I use fabric clips instead of pins when tracing patterns?

Yes. Fabric clips can be a useful alternative to pins, particularly when working with delicate fabrics, coated fabrics, leather-look materials or multiple layers that you don't want to puncture.

Do I need special tools for pattern alterations?

Basic pattern alterations can often be completed using pattern paper, tracing paper, rulers, measuring tools and pattern weights. These tools make it easier to create accurate adjustments and preserve your original pattern.
