    Check out reject shop daiso etc. for christmas wrapping paper. Maybe even colesworth. Some kinds have squared grids on the back in 1 cm intervals for ease of wrapping presents. I bought a couple of rolls and use that for pattern drafting. At a couple of bux per roll its MUCH cheaper than formal drafting paper and just as good. And if I screw up a pattern it’s no big deal to do it again on a new bit of paper. Buying paper patterns is expensive and they usually need to be adjusted (for me anyway) before they fit.

      Thanks, that’s smart! I have Xmas wrapping paper but sadly no grid on the back.

      Sorry for the ninja edit removing the part about making patterns, I had figured my weird activities weren’t actually that interesting
