Really like how you salvaged the illustrations. Great job!

I just got into junk journaling and have fell hard. I had to stop this video and go to my garage and pull down a large tote of old patterns. I am a sewer, have a lot of trim, ribbon, etc, so I am now going back to watch all your videos and will be up late creating. It was fun playing dolls with you.

[@TheTravelingCrafter]

Wonderful! I’m so glad you are here. It is easy to fall hard and the creativity is endless. Thanks for playing along with me!

Welcome Kathy! I’m so happy it was helpful. I hope I get to see your final product. Sewing journals are so intriguing to me. Have a fantastic day.

[@kathrynlester2352]

I've used featherweight iron-on interfacing to 'beef up' really loved pieces. Just lay it down with the back on the adhesive side. Hand flatten, lay pressing cloth down and start pressing with iron as the manufacturer says. I generally just attach the center, let cool, then roughly cut the i terfacing closer to the paper. Then press from center out on all 4 edges. When done, and cooled, cut to paper edge.

[@TheTravelingCrafter]

That is a brilliant idea thank you Kathryn! I’m glad you are here!

New subscriber, great idea! I have inherited some older patterns from the '70s and was using money of them for decoupage since there are a lot of like extra pieces that weren't part of the actual design, but this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing new subscriber

I’m so glad you are here. Decoupage is a great use for them. I had one person buy patterns from me and used as wallpaper! I’d love to see it would t you?

[@lizzyanthus1]

New subbie here. Thank you. I was looking for something to do with old sewing patterns. Every time I've gone to our local thrift store lately, I've bought a few old sewing patterns, just because they seemed so interesting! I've got about 20 or so now, and will buy more now I've finally begun to look into how to use them. This was a great video for me, as some of them are in a bit of a state. Thanks so much for sharing this. I hope you have, or will make, more on how to use these lovely old patterns?

Thanks for joining me. I’m so glad your here. Sewing patterns are on of my favorites. I’ll be doing more soon in my #sewingnotionsunday collaboration. I hope you enjoy them!

Omg !!! Your sewing Tim Holtz themed stamps are absolutely beautiful. Imma need to go out and find me a bundle of sewing patterns one day to make some cuties .

Hugs even tho we have no arms or legs in this video 😂🤭

[@TheTravelingCrafter]

I am an official “volunteer” at a thrift shop I’ve yet to officially volunteer at. But my first bit of constructive feedback. Is think before ya stick. So many original stickers from vintage items I’ve got are destroyed because of those. And everyone knows original manufacturers labels increase the price. Hugs girly!

[@ChasingRetro]

All very cute ideas!! Especially ways to use the "less pretty" parts inside the sewing patterns :)

Haha yes! I just received some happy mail with tiny flowers made from the tissue. I’ve got to learn how she did them. They were adorable.

Really cute ideas! Made a Playlist for a sewing journal, and saved this video to it so that I will be able to find it easily when I get suplies for a sewing journal.

Oh what fun😄😍 and totaly different way to use sewing paper😍👏 Two questions 1.do you use glue to fasten the sewing paper to the filefilder and then sew around it? 2. The green lace that you made her skirt from, were did you get it? It is gorgeous 😍😍😍 Lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌻🌺🌼🌹🏵
