    I used the tissue from some outdated patterns when I moved to wrap up breakables. It does not leave black on the items like newspaper does.

    Neatest thing I have ever seen done with old patterns is seeing them used as wallpaper in a sewing room. They used mostly children's patterns so you could still see the shapes of the individual pieces. I think they were 'glued' using liquid starch so they were not permanent due to the texture they would show if you tried to paint over it.

    My cat loves the pattern paper. So I give her a sheet to entertain herself with.
