BABY BOOK – STAR BOOK NO. 153

BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR!

FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS ENDED!  GOAL: 5000 USD AND CURRENTLY AT 105%!

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!

The end of the year is also a time to think of new beginnings, and what better symbol of that than the youngsters that still need their diapers changed and use crying as main communication channel. They say it’ll get better when they are a bit older – they’ll crawl from one electrical outlet to the next, leaving the parents to run after them and to try to childproof the entire house. When baby is ready to go to high school prom, that’s when the childproofing may be finished.

If you are not a parent, but a grandparent or other related adult, you might have time for what the parents don’t have time for, which is, knitting and crocheting clothing, toys, and blankets for the small fry. This Baby Book offers you a wide choice of items to make that will combine use and beauty. There’s no need to keep to the pastel colors as here described, and of course you can personalize everything with letters, kittens, flowers, or whatever takes your fancy.
