A while back I wrote a post about how to reinforce your patterns by spray mounting them to card stock. Just recently a lovely sewist shared her take on the idea and I loved her idea! I just had to share.
She mounts her patterns, just like I do. But instead of mounting them on paper, she goes to Walmart and finds the cheap, $.98 place mats (she says she finds hers by the canning/kitchen area). What a great idea! The foam (is it foam that those are made out of? I’m not sure the proper term!) would add strength to the pattern, but still allow it to bend and move as needed. I will definitely have to try this out!
Thanks so much for sharing such a great idea!
I laminate mine with 5 mil thick sleeves and then cut them out. 🙂
Great idea Lauren!
