How Do You Find Vintage Craft Patterns?
If you love vintage crafting and sewing patterns, there are plenty of places to find them. You can find many at online auction sites, but there are other vintage pattern bargains out there if you’re willing to look! First, decide what type of patterns you’re looking for. Are you looking for knitting, crocheting, crafts, or sewing patterns? Are you looking for patterns from a specific era? Try searching for those types of patterns at online auction sites like eBay and you may be surprised by how many turn up! Take some time to check out the thrift shops in your area. Many carry crafting supplies and now and then vintage patterns show up, too. Get to know the volunteers at your local thrift stores and find out what days they put out new merchandise, so that you can check back regularly. Check out your local classified ads for estate and moving sales. Sometimes you can find vintage patterns at these sales. Scour relatives’ attics, basements, and craft supplies for vintage patterns, too. C
