FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!  GOAL: 5000 USD / 7000 CAD AND CURRENTLY AT 29%!

To keep our Library up and running, we hold a fundraising campaign from September to December.

This is the link to the donation button: Donate to keep the Antique Pattern Library running!  

If you value our work and can afford to contribute, even a little bit, we will be very grateful. Although we don’t charge for use and download of our publications, our service providers, banks, and lawyers operate on a different business model and we do need money to pay them properly.

IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO DONATE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HELP THE ANTIQUE PATTERN LIBRARY, INTRODUCING THE LIBRARY TO PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW OF IT YET, IS VERY USEFUL, SINCE IT BROADENS OUR USER BASE AND THEREFORE ALSO OUR FUTURE DONOR BASE. BLOGS, TIKTOK, INSTAGRAM, PINTEREST, RAVELRY, FACEBOOK, OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA – SHOW OTHERS YOUR FAVORITE PUBLICATIONS AND WHAT YOU MADE USING THEM. OUR WORK IS ONLY USEFUL WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE IT!

And now for the new publication:

Now is the time to get started on gifts and decorations, because such things always take more time than planned! My former project manager used to multiply my estimates by 3 and I’ve come to agree with him. Plan, mulitply, execute, and be glad that you made the deadline 🙂
