FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING HAS REACHED – NO, EXCEEDED – ITS GOAL! CURRENTLY AT 115% which might well be the final amount,  and it’s fabulous!

To keep our Library up and running, we hold a fundraising campaign from September to December. It has been succesful, thank you all!

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

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!
