Too Many Pattern

Cennetta and Carolyn wrote about their pattern collections. Carolyn's love of patterns is contagious. I have been reading her blog for over a year and I know that she loves patterns with great technique and details to add to her a fabulous wardrobe. Cenetta loves to buys pattern that offer techniques to challenge and improve her sewing skills. Also she has a fabulous wardrobe and her sense of color is awesome.

Why do I buy patterns?

1.I buy patterns because I love to sew
2.I buy patterns because I love the styles and I have good intentions to sew every pattern I buy(unrealistic)
That is why I love to buy patterns and I have been buying patterns for 30+ years.

Reading so many sewing blogs has been fun and educational at the same time. I bought 3 patterns in the last three months ; my goal moving forward is to buy patterns that are going to challenge and improve my sewing skills.

I have been working on organizing my extensive pattern collection. This was an eye opening experience. More about that later.

So my question to you is why do you buy patterns?
