SAJOU BI-COLORED CROSS-STITCH ALBUM 186

FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS ENDED!  GOAL: 5000 USD AND CURRENTLY AT 104%!

To keep our Library up and running, we hold a fundraising campaign from September to December and I’m happy to say that it reached its goal!

More donations are always welcome 🙂 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 

C-YS042 Maison Sajou – Broderie Russe Album No. 186
Leporello with eight pages, cross-stitch patterns in two colors. No alphabets, just corners, borders, floral and animal motifs and a dragon border. The red color was seriously misprinted as happened more often with Sajou booklets from this bi-color series.
Scans donated, edited and charted by Sytske Wijnsma.

Another of the rare bi-colored cross-stitch booklets that we’re hunting for. The printing press was likely geared to monochrome embroidery patterns, as the red pattern overlay has been misaligned with the blue one, making charting a bit of a challenge. This might also be the reason that those two colored patterns were discontinued after a while, as the customers can’t have been very happy with the mismatch. It’d be a strange thing that the worst quality pattern prints are now the priciest as a result 🙂

Some designs clearly had errors, those have been corrected to the best of our ability.
