No shame, I have more than I’ll ever use. I’m about to add patterns from a book and that will be another 30 to my 13 bankers boxes that I haven’t finished loading yet plus all the digital ones. I got this app to see them all, and I love it, but wow is it overwhelming to see how many I really have! Adding up my physical copies, books, digital copies, and tutorials I’m in the high hundreds if not a thousand.
Honestly, I’m sure I’ve broken a thousand. I don’t like to sew the same thing many times except for my kids. I have 6 children, so I have patterns in all sizes plus toys, dolls, and home dec.
@JD3205 your percentage made is already a lot better than mine! Impressed by how evenly split your different garment types are as well. Clearly all I buy is dresses haha
@BlossomSandwich my collection is over my sewing life - 50 years - and the early patterns have all been made. I’m not doing so well on more recent acquisitions but I like seeing the little green Made tabs on the pattern records
When I first started sewing a few years ago I was v purchase happy & bought a few books & any patterns I liked without much thought! I seem to have a lot with a low % made up, probably quite a few are from the books though.
Im not beating myself up about it & avoiding looking at total spend figures! Now my sewing has improved I’m more mindful of what I’ll actually make & I’m trying to plan using the patterns I have & avoid buying more. I’ll end up with an enormous me made wardrobe if i sew up even a fraction of what i have!
I have so many patterns that were given to me from my mom and my grandmother plus all the ones I’ve bought myself. I’m trying to use them instead of letting them just sit there.
When I still had a decade’s worth of BurdaStyle magazines, my total was well over 3,000. Destashing the Burdas was what finally got me to start using Stash Hub. The idea of copying all of those patterns from my previous inventory app was just too much.
Now I have only around 120 patterns, and a lot more shelf space!
It is taking a lot more time to add my patterns than fabric. I have a lot more than 86. These are mostly indi patterns but that is because it seems easier to add them. I have got a box full of commercial patterns.
I was the same; just added the ones I was working on until I bit the bullet and did the lot. With the envelope/commercial patterns I found pictures of all but about 4 hunting the internet. I have a lot of out of print patterns. You don’t have to take the pictures. Some of the picture quality isn’t good but better than having to take all the photos. I the added the bare minimum information.
When I first started adding my patterns to Stash Hub, I decided to sort through them and only add the ones that I would realistically use. This meant that I destashed more than half - some went to members of my local sewing group, with the rest going to a charity shop. I have not added patterns which are in books unless it is used in a project.
Where possible I have used magic input, but some of my patterns are old and have been discontinued.
