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!

Honesty compels me to admit that some items probably wouldn’t be suitable as gifts in our more modern time. If you make those, it’ll be for your own use and pleasure. But the majority is beautiful and/or useful. I even saw my own shopping bag on one of these pages (the netted one, at the bottom of page 17) and I wouldn’t mind having one set of those crocheted earrings. Those small crocheted gifts would still be appreciated by people who love needlework or just delicate handmade items.
