Vintage Knitting and Crochet Patterns
I
love all the home arts; sewing, cooking, making a house a home! I especially love learning about how our mothers and grandmothers learned homemaking skills and created things. I started a collection of vintage crochet and knitting patterns, and also antique cookbooks, and decided to combine my work with my hobby. I restore and reprint books and single patterns and offer them for others to use and enjoy as well.

Vintage Home Arts - The Company
Vintage & Antique Crochet and Knitting Patterns and Cookbooks
Vintage patterns make today's fashions, and in most cases are not only a bargain, but superior in design and style. It's only up to your own creative imagination to turn a black and while photo into a unique masterpiece in living color.
The Background of Vintage Home Arts
I started by selling my patterns and books on eBay. You'll see just a few listings below. I'm working on a website at VintageHomeArts.com , and I've opened a mall shop at MainStreetMallsOnline.com. I currently have about 1,000 vintage patterns listed, with thousands more waiting in the wings. Some of the categories are: vintage baby patterns, women's designer fashions, dolls, toys, doilies and motifs, florals, hats and bags and novelties. And of course whole pattern books and cookbooks.
If you have a request for a pattern, ask me, I probably have it. I could use about five workers cleaning and restoring patterns full time! Trouble is I can't pay them. So I plug along and try to remember that this started as a hobby.
If you're a crocheter, knitter or into old fashioned cooking, check out my items. They're hand selected with care.
