| This sketching paper erases cleanly and completely on both sides. 2 or 3 sheets can be overlaid on top of one another and it is still possible to see and trace lines from the bottom layer. It is ideal for use with Joyce’s custom grading methods as per instructions in guide 3 of Building the Custom Pants Block.
Available in canary yellow. Each roll is 24” wide by 150’ long. |

| Used for making a nice smooth u shaped notch in pattern tissue, tag board or cleaner than a little triangle snip for marking patterns. This is a traditional industry pattern making tool. |

| There are times it is handy to have a small square. You will enjoy using this lightweight plastic one. |
|
| ****************** |
| Every pattern maker has their favorite curves. Joyce says she can draw any curve with the French curve and this one. It is great for tracing the inseam curve from knee to crotch point when custom grading a pants pattern.
This one is made of flexible plastic. It is lightweight and easy to move around. |

| ****************** |
| The JSM Pants Folio is used as the “custom pattern envelope” for storing the pattern and the information that goes with it organized for easy reference when building from one custom pants project into the next. |
