This site is dedicated to the love of patterns from the past. I enjoy the styles, history, artwork and unique fashion.

Lost ?? Missing ? Incomplete .........???

 
What do you do with those patterns you find that are not complete?
I don't have the heart to throw them out and so are beginning to stockpile in my sewing room.
I feel, with their age, being no longer in print and historical artwork, it would be shame to throw them out.
 
Sometimes it can be a matter of only instructions missing - I could search for the instructions.
Sometimes, it can be part of the pattern can be made eg: the blouse, not the skirt.
Im sure some people could make the garment due to their excellent seamstessing experience, just because one piece is missng.
 
I could make the envelope into some sort of display or artwork.
 
What do you do with your incomplete patterns?
