Welcome!

This ongoing project is an effort to scan craft pattern publications that are in the public domain, to preserve them, so we can keep our craft heritages in our hands. Most of these scans have been graphically edited to make the images easier for craft workers to see, and to reduce file sizes. They are available, for free, to anyone who wants them, for educational, personal, artistic and other creative uses.

Punched paper card partially embroidered

Peach, apple, strawberries on a plate

Punched paper cardboard, with an embroidery pattern printed on it and already partially embroidered. No publishers mark or date. A step up from the outline pre-punched embroidery cards for kindergarten children. Some stitch placement suggestions, otherwise all left to the embroiderer. Punched paper was a popular embroidery ground, as it wouldn't deform when stitches were pulled too tight. Paper was also sold under the name of Toilecrosse.

Scanned and edited by Sytske Wijnsma.

Cataloguers needed!

We badly need trained librarians or scholars in humanities, to help make our catalog useful and conforming to standards, and teach other volunteers how to do this. If you have some training in cataloguing, we'd be very glad for your help. As many or as few hours you would be willing to spend on it, it all would help. Contact Judith or Sytske via the groups.io/g/antiquepatternlibrary group, or send a mail to the info address above. Thank you!
