So I recently joined this Wiki because the information on here is amazing, and I've been doing research on vintage sewing patterns. I recently bought about 155 vintage sewing patterns, and I've been looking them up on here. But I've noticed that many of patterns I look up are not on here. I would love to post information about the patterns, but I can't figure out how to do it. If I could get some help, that would be fabulous! Thanks in advance!

I notice there will be a specific circa year on some patterns where no year is stated on the pattern (such as, ca. 1964). Some will have a note that the pattern is in a specific pattern book but no link to a pattern book or image from the pattern book in the listing proving it. Documentation isn't required?

While adding a page for Woman's Realm L13, I noticed that the page titles are not consistent (the letters are sometimes missing, some have dots).

What's the best way to write the numbers for this brand?

I’m a new sewer and I recently got my grandmother’s old sewing machine along side 20 books full of patterns ranges from the years 1960 to 1990.

They are Stitch By Stitch and they are all in pretty god condition.

I was just wondering if anyone here knew what the best route for storing vintage patterns would be as I currently just have my pattern books on a small shelf under my desk.

Hi admins, I hope you see this. I wanted to know if it's permissible for users to replace old photos with a fresh clean scan if the original is blurry, highly pixelated, or crops a good deal of the envelope off. For example:

Thanks for your feedback!

This pattern for Butterick 3728 does not appear to be in the database. I only have a photo, no further information.

Hi, I was wondering if Non-English patterns would be accepted. I have a lovely Dutch Pattern from the seventies. As a born and raised Dutch lass I can translate when needed. Maybe an international/European category is an idea to add, might be really fun to see vintage patterns from different parts of the world next to each other.

Thanks in advance!

I found it in an article and i believe its called McCall 4856? i think its by Lanvin. here is a picture:

It has been a long time since I have contributed a pattern that wasn't listed and I cannot remember how to do it. Where do I find the guide for how it is done and a template?
