Help BeespokeVintage Preserve Vintage Patterns!

Donation protected
Imagine stumbling upon a beautiful, rare vintage sewing pattern, only to have it crumble to dust in your hands or find it torn apart and repurposed as tissue paper. It's a heartbreaking reality for those of us who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of these timeless designs. My name is Rebecca Russell, and I'm reaching out to you with a passion project close to my heart—preserving the artistry of vintage sewing patterns.

As an avid collector and founder of BeespokeVintage, I've witnessed the slow deterioration of these precious patterns over the years. Many of them are hidden away in dusty attics, forgotten corners of thrift stores, or worse, cut up and glued to envelopes, leaving the true beauty of the design lost in time.

I am embarking on a mission to rescue and share these amazing patterns with the world, and I need your support. I am launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for a large-format digital scanner (and eventually printer but for now the scanner is the huge help). This cutting-edge equipment will allow me to create high-quality digital replicas of these vintage patterns, ensuring that their exquisite details and original charm are preserved for generations to come.

But this campaign is not just about my personal collection. I want to make these digital treasures available to you! Imagine having access to a vast library of meticulously preserved vintage patterns, each one a piece of fashion history waiting to be rediscovered. Whether you're a seasoned seamstress, a budding designer, or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of classic fashion, these patterns deserve to be shared and enjoyed.

By contributing to this campaign, you are not only helping me acquire the necessary equipment but also becoming a crucial part of a community dedicated to preserving and celebrating the art of vintage fashion. Your support will enable BeespokeVintage to bring forgotten patterns to life in digital form, ensuring that these beauties are no longer hidden away but accessible to everyone who appreciates their timeless elegance.

Want a sneakpeak at just a FEW of the hundreds of patterns I have in my collection? View them HERE.

Join me in this exciting journey to rescue and share the magic of vintage sewing patterns. Together, we can create a digital archive that transcends time and allows these treasures to shine once again.

Thank you for being a part of this endeavor, and let's bring these forgotten patterns back to life!

With gratitude,
