Patterning paper that I didn't know I had...

So I took a drawing class in college during my first year. One of the things we had to buy was a huge pad of newsprint that we barely used in class. I completely forgot that I still had about 90% of the pad left over. Granted, it's a bit beat up and there's an oddly huge fold in it, but it's useful as all heck when it comes to drafting patterns. It's soft enough to be penetrated by the pins easily (granted, I use glass tipped quilting pins that I got for free when I got my sewing machine. They're super sharp), but sturdy enough it won't tear when I breathe on it :D
