    I somehow came across your video on the stain glass picture....which i liked alot. Sparkle and glows...can't go wrong girl. I find you incredible fun and had me giggling all the way. You are quite talented and i am glad i came across your channel.

    That's a cool way to store and organize your collections. Also totally agree with the 5/8" SA thing. That needs to stop!

      Thank you! All I can think about is how much fabric is going to waste making something with a bunch of panels, like a 6 panel corset, that's like 15 inches if you include the lining.

    Oh girl, I enjoy your video and your personality. I just went through a 4 draw filing cabinet and got rid of probably 45 years of pattern. For one thing, they don't fit any more and a lot of them I wore in high school. (Didn't know they would all come back into fashion) I still have too many left and I'm like you 99 cents for a pattern is to hard to resist!

    Why do you have 12 👎🏽? You are so sweet and I liked your video. Glad to see you make your own patterns; I do too. I do not buy ANY patterns, in fact. No stores near me with $.99 patterns and I don't purchase them online.
    A lot of people have tons of them. I went to design school and have books with every imaginable style to draft a pattern that fits me perfectly when I sew it up.
    Keep sewing! Stay as sweet as you are. Greetings! Jane

    I totaly agree with you about the archaic imperial measuring system you have in USA. I live in Australia and we have had the metric system for a long time. I often have to convert inches to centimeters when using sewing patterns.
    I have heaps more sewing patterns than you - about 7 boxes infact. LOL I have to stop collecting sewing patterns.

    I go to thrift stores and get them too! They are about 25 cents to 49 cents. That’s why need dimes, nickels and and quarters! I am too old to change too! Get it! I just killed it with that pun!

  • @abigails.9841
    @abigails.9841 6 лет назад +1

    99 cents? Most of mine were around 3-6 dollars since I buy online. I never thought about going to a craft store for them, since I don't like leaving my house to go shopping. But now that I know about this, I'll probably check for upcoming sales at a local store. I'm always cheap to buy these, but seeing how large everyone's pattern collection is making me envious for more.

    • @ForgottenTrinkets
      @ForgottenTrinkets  6 лет назад

      In the past couple of months, I've noticed simplicity patterns going on sale for $1.99 instead of $.99. I'm quite the homebody too, so I guess its a matter of weighing the comfort and convenience of staying home vs the savings. Either way, I recommend always checking out their weekly ad first to know which brands are on sale when.

    2. you are hilarious
    Happy stitching!

    • @ForgottenTrinkets
      @ForgottenTrinkets  6 лет назад +1

      1. I keep hearing from folks that my collection isn't that big. Which, let me tell ya, makes it REALLY tempting to go nuts whenever I notice there's a pattern sale going on.
      2. I'm glad someone thinks so :D people rarely laugh at my jokes irl

    Hahaha! I was expecting way more, the way you were shaming yourself. Oh No! My pattern collection is massive. If I only count my McCall's, Butterick, Vogue & Simplicity, I have around 150 patterns (I have used 22 of them, in whole or in part. I have another 12 traced out.) Then there are my PDF patterns (99% of which were free) and the sewing books with patterns. Yeah...my collection has kind of just exploded. But honestly, when Jo-Ann's or Hobby Lobby have a sale that good, it would be rude not to buy one...or ten. That heating pad with the lacing is genius! And I would gladly learn and use centimeters if everyone else would use Fahrenheit, because what the fuck is up with you, Celcius? Like, what even? You make hot weather sound cold and cold weather sound like hell has frozen over and we're all dead!

    • @ForgottenTrinkets
      @ForgottenTrinkets  6 лет назад +1

      It's so hard to tell what's normal (or abnormal for that matter) from a sample size of one, but now that I've heard from more sewers I feel significantly less guilty about my stash :) in fact I'm kinda regretting not getting more while I still could, before they went out of print...I have the feeling this could turn into a habit ;)

      @ForgottenTrinkets  6 лет назад

      Right? The temptation is just too strong, and then when I have the self control to hold myself back from getting a pattern, the darn things get discontinued! RIP Simplicity 8075 & 8154 :'(

    Finally an American who sees sense, the metric system is much easier than the imperial system, it's high time America joined the 21st Century.

    I started a binder but I'm not happy. They binder I got is 6 inch binder and it is massive. Takes up a lot of space and it's hard to flip through the pages to look at each pattern. Not sure what to do. :(

    • @ForgottenTrinkets
      @ForgottenTrinkets  5 лет назад +1

      I think everyone finds their own method for organizing patterns. My collection has grown a little bit since I made this video, and I've split things between two binders one for "normal" clothes, and one for more costumey patterns.
      What works for me won't work for everyone. Boxes are quite popular, but I never went for them, because I like to see the pictures on the front, but you may have different priorities. There are plenty of other storage ideas online. I hope that you find (or create) something that works for you :)

      Demonic uterine syndrom is a curse, sometimes the best you can do is give something a ridiculous name :) I don't take commissions, but I'm certain there are a bunch of sewers way more experienced than me who do
