I saved all my pre-1940s patterns and the newer ones I MIGHT make or if I REALLY liked it lol. I went from 4 huge plastic bins to one small one. Cleared up and ENTIRE CORNER in my basement. I also had my 1940s buffet STUFFED with them. Once unstuffed, I had room to put all the family photos...
I just donated about 200 vintage sewing patterns to a craft/sewing store. I'm slowly getting rid of vintage dresses I know I'll NEVER wear. Got rid of all my "rockabilly" hair trinkets and jewelry. I used to think it was my "duty" to save such stuff from the "evil" younger generations that...

I haven't bought a sewing pattern in a loooooong time. Last thing I sewed was a 1913 Past Patterns dress, which I would consider a fail (way, way too big). I just bought the 1930s "Corsage Dress" pattern from DoS. I'm gonna make it when I lose this weight.
