I love this hat. I received some vintage wool and mohair from a friend’s mom and they are screaming for me to make them into this hat. Thanks for sharing! Marti

Eeeee! Rick Prelinger! Thanks for the clarification; it’s an important distinction.

Wonderful! Just one small correction. Most of these were produced by private production companies. Only a few were made by government agencies. “Public domain” refers to their copyright status.

There are so many infringements on her ebay site and they do nothing – everybody should report these – search for thomas in patterns for her on ebay – so many duplicate listings !!!!! – and all of the listings give her address as silver street dursley – is this correct or wrong ?

Thank you exceedingly; I thought for a second the blinding rage I experienced might just be me overreacting. I figured the best workaround to blatant thievery would be to post patterns I actually created, so copyright would be a little more easily determined. Let us all look forward to the future! Which I actually picture as looking like the 40s for the next 2 seasons, then switching to a mash-up of 20s haberdashery and 80s shoulderpadded tops. Huzzah!

Ooh that vile, little, half rate, two penny, thieving harlot!

…Ahem. Please excuse my language.

That makes no sense! How dare she! To steal and sell the patterns and then, upon all other crimes, demand that YOUR site be taken down when she has, quite clearly, taken from you??? Ooh if I could only replace her hair rat with a live rodent!

You have thrown the gauntlet very well. I am just glad that your site is back up (not that I have commented before, but I do enjoy your site so much!).

I look forward to when karma turns around and bites her in the ‘you-know-where’!

Until then, keep your chin up and know that you have lots of support, dearie! Also, I’m willing to bet that she has more than a little mail coming her way!

Hello,

Thank you so much for the consideration! It’s always wonderful to be appreciated. As the award involves nominating quite a number of other bloggers, I will unfortunately have to demur as I read a total of….well, the 3 blogs over there in my sidebar, and even those semi-frequently. Thank you though, for the nomination.

It is like the more I find out about this women, the more I hate her.

I would strongly urge anyone against buying from her. She is obviously making a lot of money out of doing very little, such an unpleasant person to deal with as well.

I haven’t sold any yet as I tend to give most of them away. As this was a special gift for a special lady, I feel obliged to get her ok before posting any patterns. However, it’s a hack of several Sajou patterns, of which a link to many are above. You can customize them using the alphabet patterns and images from their many, many samplers.
