FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!  GOAL: 5000 USD / 6125 CAD AND CURRENTLY AT 62%

To keep our Library up and running, we hold a fundraising campaign from September to December.

This is the link to the donation button: Donate to keep the Antique Pattern Library running!  

If you can’t afford to donate, but would like to help the Antique Pattern Library, introducing the Library to people who don’t know of it yet, is very useful, since it broadens our user base and therefore also our future donor base. Blogs, Tiktok, Instagram, Pinterest, Ravelry, Facebook, other social media – show others your favorite publications and what you made using them. Our work is only useful when people actually use it!

If that is not possible either, just enjoy our new publications either for inspiration or for your own work! There’s always something new to try out and something well-known to sharpen our skills with, and this Workbasket Vol. 14 No. 10 is especially useful for crocheted household things.

This is a crocheters Workbasket, with one knitting item, one tatting item and one quilting item. The chair set reminds us that hair oil was still the bane of upholstered chairs. The lapel ornaments have fallen out of fashion, although the design would make a lovely pendant for a crocheted necklace. The wash cloth turtle is charming and might with some color changes be attractive for children as their private individual washcloth.
