easily cut the pieces of fabric out. The fabric pattern sort of grips the other fabric so it stays in place while I'm cutting.
The other advantage is that the fabric pattern pieces might last longer than their paper sisters. This works great for purse patterns or a pattern you tend to use many times over. And, of course, you don't need denim for your pattern pieces. Just find the oldest scrap in your stash that isn't slippery, and that's probably a good candidate.

THIS IS GREAT!!! I had never thought of that! I too am in need of how to become a kinder, gentler wife (and mother)
great solution!! don't you just love it when an easy solution to a boring task falls right into your lap?!! using fabric patterns is perfect....and i'm all for anything that will save me from using those dratted straight pins!
Hey Christie! What a super idea... I've been using pattern tracer for years, but I do find that it wears out, and I get so TIRED of pinning.
Sew on, Sistah!

I just did this the other day! I had a bunch of leftover felt, so I cut pattern pieces for my cloth diapers and labeled them. I don't have to fold them perfectly anymore and don't have to use pins to cut things out!
Elisa - fun that you did this, too! Great minds... :)
