If you're going to start sewing clothing, be sure to get your patterns on SALE (JA's has sales on different lines every couple of months - 5 for $5 or 10 for $10). Also clothing patterns come multiple sizes on one sheet. I always take my pattern down and make a copy of the size I want to use, so that I can reuse it over and over (NO copy right laws broken when it's for your use). Pattern paper is so thin that if you pin it and cut it one time that's about all you will get to use that pattern, so make your copy and keep the original to make your next copy.
