FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!  GOAL: 5000 USD / 6125 CAD AND CURRENTLY AT 89%

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! 

NEW PUBLICATION 

I-WB143 The Workbasket Vol. 14 No. 3
Stapled softcover, 32 pages. Tatted web chair set, crocheted flowers, puff stitch crocheted pan holder, making Christmas candles with as mold a square milk carton, make money with doll house furniture made from cardboard, games that can be made at home, crocheted slipper tops of metallic thread, crocheted single flower doily, an article about metalcraft, knitted romper or dress, crochet old granny afghan, crochet edging, crochet basket motif, man’s scarf, Aunt Ellen’s Club Notes with emphasis on Christmas, and many advertisments, one of which is for a Lily Weaving loom.
From the collection of Sarah Dalton, scanned by Seya Wijnsma-Spek, edited by Sytske Wijnsma. Published with kind permission of F+W Media, the current copyright holder.

Quite a variety of subjects in this Workbasket, not just crochet and knitting, but candle making for Christmas, doll house furniture, and metalwork to mention a few.  The advertisement on the last page for the table loom is perfectly timed, after four articles about weaving in the previous Workbaskets, and how to make a loom, this loom might look a very attractive proposal for people who weren’t so construction minded and just were interested in the actual craft of weaving.
