What Can We Do With Sewing Patterns? A Stashistry Video 

That's great. Look forward for more.

Wow!! What a lovely video! That’s a great idea with the library cards! Love the way you do your instruction too. Some of these young girls actually have pretty good ones too but they Talk 90 miles a minute & it makes me Nuts. Thanks again for your time & lookin forward to more of yours!❤✌️

Happy Sunday Diane , love your idea for a sewing journal. ❤️🌺❤️

Congrats on new glasses! Sight is so important!

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Great, creative ideas, Diane! TFS the inspiration!

What a new great idea, love it. I would like to see more. Thanks ⚘💟💖

I have a bin+ a grocery sack full of patters that are either dips that I have or patters that I won’t be using. I’ll definitely be picking some out to use now in my just journals.

thank you diane👍💚

Did you see my nose glued to the screen?! LOVE watching you create with my favorite theme and my favorite thing to collect.🙂❤️

So cute Diana great idea. ❤❤❤

Oh boy! Another fun project. Loved the adorable pleated skirt from pattern tissue. And to use a collar so it was curved is just too clever Diane. Already love all your fun ideas.

god bless you diane

This will be a fun series. It's neat to see your process, especially with the tags and library pockets. Just bought a couple of lots from your shop, and now I have an idea to embellish them. I also love the last element you showed, the gathered skirt you made with the color piece. -- Ingenious.

Oh my, Diane I’m so so excited to see this series. I have the same sewing binder and I am finally going to make my first journal ,thanks to you . This is just so wonderful and wow you are truly the best !!

That is how I was with my new glasses! I almost fell back out of my chair! Like seeing 3D and everything jumping out at me. Colors so bright. I am very sorry about your husband again Diane. I know you turn to your faith. Counseling is really helpful too. It makes such a difference in my life too.

Really looking forward to this series. I especially love that you use actual vintage ephemera. Have a great day.

This is such a great series! So exciting to see your ideas 😊

Beautiful series. That women’s pleated skirt. Amazing

I can see you’re on your way to creating several exciting fashion/sewing journals. This is a very clever idea. I love series. I can’t wait to see tge next video.

Hello Diane! How fun I love working with sewing patterns and I have unfinished sewing journals as well. Thanks for the inspirations. Have a good day and take care!

I like this series already! So nice to get inspiration and tips and tricks from you ❤️ Just love what you did with adding the pleated skirt to the pattern model! So very creative!!

Your video popped up on my YT feed and what an inspirational gem. We have a long family textile history and me & my sister started sewing when we were about 7 and I remember failing a school exam because the teacher wouldn't believed I'd sewn the garment myself rather than my mother. This video has inspired me to create a journal honouring 3 generations of this textile history ... both grandmothers & my mother, sister & me. Thank you for this inspiration and much creating love from Australia 🐨 🐾 💝

I've always wondered what to do with sewing patterns I got from a yard sale. This is awesome - so many different ways to use them. Thank you so much! Can't wait to get started.

This series will be helpful to refer back to when I do journals for each of my 4 sisters & my sister in law. Thanks. Keep on keeping on.

I love how you made the skirt out of tissue pattern paper! Super fun!

Love this idea and love to watch your serie. So nice to see something done with those old patterned papers. Before The pandemic we loved to travel to the UK for our holidays and once I found some in a charity shop over there. Over here in the Netherlands we don’t have such patterns with tissue paper, they all are just paper and you have to trace it yourself with tissue paper/ sewing paper to make the elements. I did that a lot when my children were younger, loved to make them clothes so love this theme now. Thank’s for inspiring and I think you are very creative! Stay safe and healthy Greetings from your mostly quiet follower Maia

Oh no! I would have loved to have made actual garments from those patterns! I wish you had made copies of those to cut up and glue, and then sold those patterns to sewists.

Love this idea using Patterns! You are a very creative Lady, and I so enjoy watching your video's! Take care, from Australia! 👍🙂

Love this video, looks great!!

Just catching up this week on videos. Love this idea for a series! Thank you! ❤😁

Hi I discovered your channel today. I am so pleased I did as I have a whole bunch of old patterns which a friend found for me and they have bee sitting with my stash for quite some time now with all good intentions to use them. Now that I have seen ideas on how to use them I am inspired to get going with putting a journal together. Thank you. Your ideas are fabulous. 😊

I have a three ring sewing binder I’ve been wanting to use. I have patterns and other stuff from the 50’s-70’s. I’m so excited!

Hi, Diane! It's been awhile...really enjoyed watching you at work. Love the way you've pleated the skirt. Looking forward to more of your creative videos. I hope that you are keeping well and safe. Tfs xxx

Love this pattern series idea! Hate to have all these sitting around and not knowing how to use them! So, Diane, thank you!!

This is exciting, I am new to journal making and love seeing these ideas. I have old patterns and sewing items that I can use to make a journal. Thank you for sharing this series.

Really looking forward to this series Diane thanks so much for all your great ideas

Funnily enough I just could not throw out my 2 boxes of patterns from when my kids were little, now I know why. Thank you for your tutorial 👍

Diane you always have new ideas that are fun to try, thanks. Take care!

Thank you thank you for this! I can’t wait to try it! New subscriber here for sure! ❤

I’m excited about this series. It’s a great idea. I’m glad you’re starting with sewing patterns! 😃

This a fabulous idea for a new series. I have been on the lookout for doll patterns, but no luck so far.

I needed this! Hope to see more.

Hope you feel well... Thank you for sharing this video. Prayers for the week 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

I really love this idea 💡😍💡. I have so many patterns and you are giving me more ideas so I can use all of it. I have used the envelopes in journals as pockets but this awesome! XOXO ❤️❤️

I love this series you are starting. Wonderful. Anxious for the journey. ❤️❤️

I'm anxious to see your ideas for use of patterns. I have several that were my Mother-in-laws that I'll use some of your ideas to put in a journal that I'll keep for my use. Thank you.

This is a great series. Thank you so much. I enjoyed the video very much, and I can't wait to see your next one.

Can’t wait to see the next video I’ve been wanting to make a sewing journal and have been saving a few things

I love this idea! As a new journal maker, this will widen my flexibility

Excellent idea for a series! - glad you got your new glasses - Hugs.

Thank you so much, Diane! Now I know what I can do with the patterns!

Well I'm looking forward to this series! Now with my added patterns from you, I'll be using your ideas I'm sure. I've already made a few pieces of ephemera with my patterns so that makes me happy!

Oh! that is just darling! 🥰

I love the idea of this kind of video! Especially since I just bought some vintage patterns from you! I’m so glad that I did! Perfect timing💗.

What a great idea for a series! I’ll be watching. I’m a former Home Economics teacher and have a very large stash of patterns.

I'm so excited how this will be go.......because I take from recycling bin lot of sewing patterns and was think about next project.......haha....... and You start...... so I little wait for idea from You....... thank so much..... hugs from Ursa

This is great. I really enjoyed it. I have been sewing since I was five due to the long line of home sewers in my family. Quite familiar with treadle machines. 😆. Always wondered how to use these elements. Thank you ❤

Don't forget about the Simplicity cards I sent you. Those would work great for these journals. I have some amazing bookmarks I found for you that are coming in the happy mail I am getting ready to send you. Oh, and the Simplicity napkins. XOXO ❤️❤️

This is goofy too, but in 7th grade home Ec we had to make a skirt. My pattern was 7299 pleat in the front ! Lmao! I never wore that horrid thing!

Great ideas. Already my mind is working on how to use some of my pattern tissue etc. We crafters are lucky to have such fun things to do in these difficult days. Especially those of us who are perhaps at greater risk due to health issues or old age (l’m 86). So let’s keep on crafting! 😊

Diane, I think your friend who sent the items name is Linda. Please don't quote me, but that is what I remember. I'm loving this tutorial sooooo much! I'll be trying to get my hands on one. ❤️🙏🏽🤗 Correction: As Carolyn Baker remembered her name is Janet. Thank you Janet for brightening our Diane's day!!!!❤️

Patterns today are so hard to follow! I had a friend here a while ago, who thought she could just let the fabric run thru the machine on its own and a dress came out! I kid you not!! She wouldn’t believe me when I told her she needed at least to cut the pieces and guide the fabric!! She started out making a prom dress fir a niece! There was nothing I could do to convince her! She spent tons of money, it never got made as I’m sure you know! She thought changing the sewing foot would work! Omg! I finally told her I couldn’t help! Weird I know but true!

It was 1863 Butterick

What does a pattern cost today? I have no idea. I sewed my clothes in jr high and high school, I’m sure I paid maybe $1.25? Not sure.

I believe paper sewing patterns were invented in 1860
