Sewing Tip: Saving Your Patterns

This is one of my favorite tips for sewers.  I have some favorite patterns, especially from the OUTSTANDING book Sewing Clothes Kids Love!  I use the patterns all the time.  I wasn't sure how to not rip them.  I then discovered this great technique that saves your patterns and makes them easier to use.  I iron lightweight fusible interfacing to the backside of the patterns.  I am then able to trace the different sizes onto Pellon Tru-Grid material.
