Hi,

Fixed.

It happens... I have had similar moments ;) 

Best wishes,

tarna

Thanks for that fix! 

Unrelated - I just added this one, excited to have one from ©1995 to include in the wiki. After I started the page, I realized it probably isn't that should be here because it's "No Sew." I did not include the Vintage Sewing Pattern category because it doesn't involve sewing, but did my best with everything else. Please delete the whole shebang if it doesn't belong.

Yeah, it is more a general crafts pattern.  I will probably delete it...

We do have some corner cases, such as embroidery patterns because they embellish sewn projects (and are sometimes referenced on the sewing patterns).

Yeah, I thought so too. I was reviewing the renewed listing, saw the 1995 copyright and got all giddy and created the wiki page before I really thought about it being "no sew." No dessert for me tonight (out of treats anyway!). 

Thanks again!

FYI: The above reply was mine; I was in a different browser, not logged in, when I responded. 

Stay safe.  Hope you find something to treat yourself with, anyway. Grocery shopping has become risky business... 

Thanks. You too.  

The bonus of staying out of the grocery store (other than the obvious) is that I can't snack on junk food as much so I'm losing some weight. :) I never thought I'd be excited about a UPS delivery of  lightly sea-salted, no-butter micro popcorn that is coming today. As snacks go, it's better than many, so I'm feeling pretty okay. 

I do hope you're doing well, too. Stay safe & mask up! 

We ae doing well here, also.  My go-to are pretzel sticks with the salt mostly removed. And yes, cloth masks are made and at the ready.

Just read the comment on the edit and saw what I need to correct.  Will be mindful of this with future postings.  Thank you.

The About page is the page to read first.  There is a button on the home page (get to the home page by clicking on the Vintage Patterns Wikia logo at the top left of any page).

New vendor links must go to the bottom of an existing list, not the top.

Best regards,

Thank you!

Thank you for the information.  This is only one of the people/sites spreading this very post (the first one seems to have been on ArtFido).  

Sadly, the people posting this are well aware that they are spreading falsehoods.  They do it for clicks, and have no intention of correcting or stopping it, as long as it is generating traffic for them.

Here is an article by Abby Glassenberg of the Art Industry Alliance that exposes this:

This is not a selling site - it is for information only.

The links  are optional, and come from participating vendors.  You may want to check popular selling sites for the patterns or downloads you need.

Also, I should definitely add, THANK YOU for all the extraordinary hard work that you put into making this site what it is. I know it's a true labor of love and many of us really appreciate what you're building.

Hi, sorry that was a mistake, and I thought I fixed it right after. I could not change the edit comments....  It was late, and I did not see the new image right away, as it was hidden in the Gallery.

No worries at all :)

It depends on how you are searching/looking at patterns.

In the Categories, there are Gallery display options that do show pictures to look at...  What are your trying to find?

I would like to look at all the dresses by Vogue in 1940.  It is very time consuming to click on one image, close it and then click on the next.  It would be a breeze if I could scroll from one image to another.  I tried clicking on gallery but that did not seem to help. 

If you are looking at the ones from the year 1940, here are the matches (no pictures):

https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Special:CategoryIntersection?category_1=Category%3AVogue&category_2=Category%3A1940&limit=100&wpSubmit=Find+matches

Since they were not marked with the date at that time, there are probably many more that don't show up.

The 1940s category is too large to display a Gallery...

Hello,

It probably depends on whether cropping to one particular style will look right and/or whether it will be too much work to crop to a particular style if they are e.g. close together, etc..  Both approaches are already used on many pattern pages, so either works (just point out which pattern it is on the page if showing multiple).

When adding the picture to an existing page with the envelope picture, please insert the new picture underneath the existing description and add any additional informatio underneath the new picture.

Best regards,

tarna

Hi again, I'm trying to add more pics today, but I am getting an error message that says "Invalid token," and it won't let me insert a pic.  Do you know what this error means?

It usually appears when a new page is created and someone tries to overwrite the image placeholder.  Not sure what is causing it...

Wierd.  I'll try restarting my browser & see if that helps.

Good idea.  Sometimes, just waiting helps, too (don't ask me why).

Quick update, in case this might help anyone else in the future... 

Things I tried that didn't work: Waiting until today to try again.  Restarting my browser.  Restarting my computer.

Thing I tried that seemed to work:  Logged out of Fandom & logged back in.

Hm - interesting.  I wonder if there is a hidden limit to the number of uploads per log-in session... 

Thanks for the tip!

Yes, many people have complained to those click-bait articles and sites, but they refuse to take them down.

Pleae enjoy this site for what it is - a collection of information on these old patterns.
