Made with sustainable abaca fibres this paper is much more durable and tear resistant than regular paper. Plus its eco-friendly properties mean you can compost your leftovers.

For tracing pattern pieces Patterntrace Swedish Tracing Paper is excellent. It has good transparency, lies flat, is easy to draw on and easy to apply tape to.

This is amazing stuff which can be used for tracing off patterns and making toiles. One of the advantages is that it is 1m wide so there’s no sticking together of bits of tracing paper that aren’t quite big enough!

It is really robust and great to trace your patterns on to as they will last much longer than just using the paper patterns. You can also mark it easily to make notes on the pattern pieces as you go.

A generous 1m wide roll contains 10m of paper.
