The Great Pattern Destash: Buh Bye, 2000-2009 + Ones I've Made

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

Always fun to hear your thoughts! We change and sometimes what we thought we loved, we don't love so much anymore...or it doesn't fit anymore! I've gotten rid of a few patterns recently - it's like giving up on a dream when it came to some of them but I tried to be realistic.

These videos are so fun, Jen! Thanks so much for taking us along! Happy Sewing ❤~Tiffany

You really weeded out a lot! I remember the saddle sleeve dress debacle.

[@victoriahannah1633]

I think I agreed with you on 99% of what got tossed.

Hey Jen really nice video. At this point I don't have the heart to destash patterns, I've tried once before....😅 The conclusion, I'm not ready yet😢😢 lol.

Again, so so many patterns and most are lovely. I have a couple of the ones you are letting go, and I have to admit that they just don't work as they don't have any shape. Some of those shirt dresses you are keeping look just so cute. I like a good shirtdress. Looking forward to the next destash.

I am also in the middle of a pattern destash. And man, sometimes it's hard to let go. I own the same Simplicity pattern that you critiqued because of its high waistline and short jacket. You convinced me to get rid of it, since I don't feel like messing with it.

I love all the ones you are keeping. I really like several you are letting go. I got rid of the same pattern you tossed out. The one we collabed with Sharon. It looked awful on me too. Love these videos.

I totally loved this❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing !!

Great patterns I didn’t know yet.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Oh Jen! The reason I have two copies of patterns is because I forgot I bought it already🤣 You have several I have too. Some of those full dresses can be belted. I don’t like belts now but there was a period that I wore lots of different belts.

Loving the destash. It’s time for another fab 5 collab.

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Great video I have a couple of vogue you have given me some ideas thanks 😊😊

[@sibyllolson3237]

So, I am on a shift/sheath dress kick! I am a thin rectangle with barely any curves and I am super comfortable in straight up and down dresses and I think (hope) they are flattering. I like flared skirts but will put them on and then take them off. It’s fun going through your patterns with you.

[@AndraMakes]

I am loving these. 😘💗

[@trishsh5007]

This is very inspirational- you have so many patterns. It’s useful to see how many you ditch because they weren’t a good fit for you or didn’t come together well. I tend to hang onto them thinking I will improve the fit sometime but of course I won’t! Also living in the UK there’s less warm weather so not so many opportunities to break out into a dress. Anyway - I must try harder to clear out my unwanted patterns ;) Great videos by the way. I always enjoy them. Thanks.

The dresses you are saying no to because of the waist are actually an under the bust style like an empire line.

[@thesewingparlor]

Hello Jen! I'm curious how you will be destashing, are you selling, donating?? I'm interested in a couple you have, just didn't know if you were selling off eBay or something else. Let me know! 💗

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

I'll keep you posted!

[@beezy0]

What is the pattern for the dress you made your daughter when she was in school with the pleading and the bow in front, please

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

It was self-drafted - that's the inspiration photo she gave me.
