FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!  GOAL: 5000 USD / 6125 CAD AND CURRENTLY AT 66%

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. This new Workbasket might even get you started on making your own tiles, maybe not as kitchen backsplash, but as hot pot mat a single tile would be very useful.

NEW PUBLICATION 

I-WB14B The Workbasket Volume 14 August 1949 Number 11
Stapled softcover, 32 pages. Crocheted Bunny Crib Spread, Tatted Gold, tatted motif, Two Color Mittens, Knitted Rug, Pan Holder, Crocheted Rooster, Knitted Three-Piece Set, Lace Edging, Pottery and Ceramics, Aunt Ellen’s Club Notes, Glove Making (continued from July), Rick Rack Doily, Pansy Doily, Lapel Ornament “Sandals”.
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.

Besides the to be expected crocheting and knitting projects, this new Workbasket also has an article about how to make ceramic tiles, and an explanation about glove making. The readers weren’t expected to make gloves themselves, but the knowledge would be useful to judge quality when buying gloves. Who knew about the quirks of gloves? Also, the crocheted little sandals that serve as lapel decoration are lovely and might also fit dolls feet.
