The Pattern Collector

I have been having Come to Jesus meetings with myself. My personal sewing pattern collection is being winnowed down. I don't sew clothing. I can't call myself a patchwork piecing expert because I avoid sewing complicated quilt tops. I am a Fits and Starts Sewist. πŸ™ˆπŸ™‰πŸ™ŠSome projects I become obsessed and complete them from start to finish in a weekend. Other projects extend over months and even years. 

When I originally began pattern collecting, it was for the graphics. Pattern of the Day has been a feature on my blog for many years. This 1952 McCall's is one I won't part with. It hits on all kinds of cylinders - 1950s, aprons, and chickens!


The following are the Polynesian Pattern that were listed. I don't foresee any tiki-themed parties in my near future. I do have a few Friday's Frock summer dresses scheduled for warm weather rotation.

I have two more tubs of my collected sewing patterns awaiting my review. I have a special fondness for apron patterns so there will be a glut of those hitting the boards.
