THE GREAT PATTERN DESTASH: So Long, Vintage Reprints!

[@D.P-x9b]

Your destash videos are the Best! My style is so similar to yours, I usually agree with everything you decide to get rid of. You provide so much content and do it quickly. It's wonderful!!!

[@qormi1000]

Great detash video Jen. We have similar tastes in patterns. Love the Vintage 40s ones. Looking forward to your next installment :)

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Yes! Thank you!

I remembering making S 5605 as a beach coverup out of towels- it was great for that LOL.

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

I bet!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Oh! My sewing room needs such a decluttering and such a good cleaning but it’s still workable. So for now I’ll just keep sewing.

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Good idea!

[@socarole66]

I could look at that vintage artwork all day 🥰. Oh how beautifully women used to dress in the 40s and 50s, what happened to us? 😂. Those Vogue dresses are stunning with all those lines and angles. Great job on the destash, you were ruthless and more decisive than I was 😅. Can't wait to see the others. ❤xx❤

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

So, so true - I wish we still wore hats to the grocery! 😘🤗❤️

Jen, I loved watching your pattern destash. I a sucker for a pretty 1940s dress. The interesting details they used are beautiful. I just love them but thinking about fitting them would scare me to death! I'm also drawn to a lot of the 1970s styles even though I lived through them on their first go around. I like the simple beauty of them. They're good for letting a beautiful or fun fabric sing. Plus I find most of the tops and dresses very comfortable (the jeans and pants not so much now days🙄). Good luck with the rest of your destash. X

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

What was it about the 1940's? Such fashion, such style. We need a return to that.

[@dianewilliams7931]

@@TodayinJensSewingRoom They all look so "fancy", though. I'm afraid, if I made them, I wouldn't have anywhere to go where I wouldn't feel overdressed!🤣

[@pinkysfarm461]

You’ve chosen well young grasshopper! Those 40’s styles are gorgeous and so are you!!❤

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Thank you Obi-Wan!

I always remember my Mum talking about her 22 inch waist and looking at those patterns reminds me of dresses she used to make for herself to go to Saturday night dances, where she met my Dad. Happy days! Those Vogue patterns are so classy, especially V2354 - beautiful! Kind regards from Penny 🇬🇧😊💕

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Hi Penny! How in the world did anyone have a 22" waist? Those women and their girdles - amazing. I think they all must have been 4 feet tall as well 😂

[@ZeldaSews]

Over a 1000 patterns. O k, you can D stash! I have probably about a 100- 150 so I'm not ready to destash yet! 1 day when I grow up.😅😅😅

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

One day.

[@phyllissummers2197]

I have made many of those!!!😊

[@DesignsbyDD]

So many great patterns but sometimes we do need to do a clean out. I had the original of Simplicity 8505 from my MIL’s patterns. She made it for me when I married her youngest son 45 years ago. I made it for myself about 15 years ago. I don’t like the pattern and destashed it several years ago. I do still have the last caftan, but it has been permanently relegated to the camper. 😊

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Well there you go.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Love vintage looks. Their details just make them interesting. I don’t have many vintage but I have a stash of Past Patterns. I made one dress which I loved when I was younger. When I wore it, back before vintage looks became so popular, I got some quirky looks from people that read, “Why on earth would you wear that?!” I felt great in that dress;special anniversary dress❤️Now, people would look at it so much differently because it’s more accepted🥰

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Ooooh, Past Patterns. I've always loved those. And I remember when people would look at you that way. Now they're envious! ❤️

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

@@TodayinJensSewingRoom I think I have a collection of Folkwear too. I made a vintage gown out of flannel. It was warm, but not “sexy.” 😂 I made the Garden Party Dress too. I loved that dress, but again people thought I was crazy! So funny how things change.

[@raquelseydewitz491]

Great collection !

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AndraMakes]

Good job being ruthless. I have a few of those, and have made the dress from the ‘40s that has the sweetheart neckline. It’s actually really detailed and has a lot of amazing features. Extended sleeves are my fave. Cracked me up that you don’t like them. 🤣Love you. 😘💗

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

You do love an extended sleeve. And you look fabulous in them! ❤️😘

[@SuzySunshine]

I'm really looking forward to seeing V2354 and the next one made up! It's fun to look back. 🤩 Bernadette

[@Kakkydidit]

I think I made your "Nope; it's out of here" dress in 1977! - Kelly

[@carmensalome]

Great job on that destash. I love the cover art on vintage patterns. ❤

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Me too!!

[@AndraMakes]

Me, again. 🤣 I haven’t made that Simplicity pattern. I made the pattern from the ‘40s. that has the sweetheart neckline. 😘💗

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Ah, well, my mistake - although I did get a TNT right in one of the upcoming hauls! It's a Project Runway dress - ❤️

[@BYBabbra]

So many lovely patterns. Some of the ones your are letting go are just my sort of thing but I have to admit that those kaftans are not so good. If you want a Kaftan just cut a whole in a bedsheet and stitch the sides up. The ones you are keeping have some really nice features so look forward to seeing them come to life. Looking forward to what else you have in future destash vlogs.

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

So true! 😂👻

[@debbiesnyder4778]

Wow some of those were really old!!! Yes I agree about caftans. I don’t like them either

[@annewhitney8809]

Like arm holes.sleeves and side seams that dont flap in the wind. Caftans dont make the cut. You made great choices.

[@ChristineSewsALot]

It’s funny, I was able to predict why you bought it - pockets, collars, daughters. I am wondering how many patterns exactly you have so I can guess both the destash number. Did you start with the vintage reprints because it was the smallest group or the hardest to part with? Though you did make some very quick decisions. I am talking to you 1970’s caftans!!!

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

You know me so well! Nah, they're just in the front of the binder 😂

[@riahenley9974]

I’m in the process of pattern destashing myself……😊🇦🇺

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

It's a job -

[@lindamiller283]

We’re to go to get your destash patterns I’m interested M8258 the most.

[@cindy7702]

I'm in the minority on here.. I love Caftans Perfect to put on, on a sunny summer morning to have my breakfast outside...

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Enjoy! I wish I liked them more for all those reasons -

[@annewhitney8809]

Trace those pockets and put them on another garment.

You mean the grocery bags that would hold a small toddler? I don't know why I like those so much - 😂
