As mentioned in a previous post, I was disappointed when one of my Japanese pattern books didn't have full-size, pull-out patterns for tracing. I searched the web to the point of annoyance for metric marking paper. Then, I hit upon a perfect solution: graph paper by the roll with a 1-centimeter grid from an education supply site. The closest thing I had found before is called "dot & cross paper" in the UK; I could only find that in a 2-centimeter grid, and this graph paper is way cheaper, especially considering the shipping from England. Because of my inexperience in pattern drafting, I am probably completely missing a more obvious solution, but I was quite pleased when I came up with this.
I also just finished this garden-y shift from this book.
