I have so many sewing patterns. No one wants patterns anymore so can someone give me lots of ideas on how to use them--other than making what is on pattern! I have sent lots to landfill but still have lots. Thanks in advance on any help I can get.

Use them for decoupage . I have seen them decoupaged on walls in sewing rooms and craft rooms as well as on table tops, lamp shades, storage boxes, etc. if they are older the packaging graphics are fun to frame and hang as artwork

Thank you for ideas, very helpful. I have so many patterns, never opened. I used the tissue part for a few things but ran out of ideas long ago.

They work very well for washing windows instead of paper towel; they are streak free.

You could use them for wall papering your sewing room or area the sewing machine is in. Google using old books for wallpaper, alot of ideas on how to accomplish will be included. Patterns are said to be expensive these days, haven't looked into it myself, again the internet to see if there is a collector.
