Somehow, I missed this group on DU2.

23. I collect vintage patterns also!

That is why I need to learn to crochet, since I have so many old patterns. I can't pass up the old booklets even though I haven't learned that craft yet. I especially like a couple of paper booklets I have that were published during the second world war of gifts to make. Also have many children patterns, doll clothe patterns from the 40's thru the 60's etc. I have a stash-room too, but don't have camera or knowledge to post a picture, I would love to see other's rooms though. Mine has a closet stuffed to the gills with material which takes up most of one short wall, the shelves on the top of closet are all my patterns in boxes and things like zippers, seam binding, and all those odds and ends sewers can't live without. The next wall a quilting, dollhouse, and punch hook seven foot high bookcase. Then an old kitchen table with my sewing machine and on the other side of it another seven foot tall bookcase of knitting and crochet books and supplies. Third wall is an old kitchen work cabinet (three drawers and one door opening) with my cross stitch and needlepoint supplies and books. And the fourth wall is taken up with a comfy chair to sit and work in with a stand holding my radio and record collection (need music to work by) and then a large chiffrobe full of yarn. I also have a cedar chest full of yarn that didn't make it into the room, I need a bigger area (or less yarn? No, definitely a bigger area!). Oh, and my quilting frame is near the ceiling over my sewing area resting on top edge of each of the tall bookcases, ready for when I need it. Others post pictures if you can, manybe I can get some ideas to improve my room! Oh my three weaving looms are spread throughout the house, the littlest one is generally in the sewing room, but think I am going to have to fix up a weaving room next for the looms and all the material for them that are presently in the spare bedroom. So much stuff and I love it all!
