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.
