Great video, as a former library worker I love seeing people encourage others to use the library! Most public libraries also use InterLibrary Loan (ILL) systems or Link+ to give borrowers access to a wider range of books. This expands access to materials at university libraries or public libraries in different counties but same state. Especially helpful to sewists who prefer physical patterns or books.
If you have a local-ish uni with a fashion or theater/costume making program, it probably has some cool sewing books. (I'm in a uni fashion program & our library is 🤌)
Thank you so much. You do a great job of explaining the navigation of the library on line. I think we forget what a great resource libraries are. Great job!
Thanks so very much for sharing this information!! I knew the library had books on sewing, but I had NO IDEA that you could use apps such as Creative Bugg for FREE, or, even use the app to ACCESS and TAKE CLASSES on the app for FREE, as well as DOWNLOAD FREE PATTERNS and INSTRUCTIONS for FREE through the library system.... This is such AMAZING INFORMATION!!! Thanks so very much for sharing!! I will definitely be checking this out!!!♡
Checking in with a friend to see if she and I could schedule a session with someone at our local library on how to best access these creative resources. (I feel I need a little hand holding.) Thanks for sharing this great idea. Btw, we attended eight weeks of in-person classes on food and nutrition over the summer. Wonderful experience.
I’ve found that when I preview or download a sample of a book from Amazon sometimes a page is included with a link to the patterns and/or the code to use to get them free. That’s handy! Great video… thanks!
Love this video. Thanks. Am looking for the early to mid 1900 fashion drafting mags/booklets called “Haslam System of Dress Cutting.” Do you know how to access these?
I have checked out the sewing pattern books from the library. The patterns are in the back of the book in an envelope. You just trace your size and put them back. I usually copy the sewing instructions so I can keep it with my copy of the pattern for future use.
@ , thanks for the video. I’m going to look for the book you showed (Made to Measure). I checked out a book on drafting patterns and it was a rare copy that costs $400 on the open market. What a deal we get from our library - free!
@@aygul386 I’m sorry, you probably meant the drafting book. It was something simple like Pattern Drafting but it was by Helen Joseph Armstrong. The copy I got the first three times was a huge ring binder used as a textbook. I had to return it (it was an inter-loan book from Chicago) and when I asked for it again, I got a small paperback type. The print and pictures were small but the info was there. It was worth checking out. I learned a lot.
I was able to borrow a book of Cashmerette patterns that allowed me to download the electronic patterns for free. I love using my local library as a resource. I was able to read a lot of the Will Trent series through my library. Now I'm working my way through the Joe Pickett series. My only problem is that the library limits me to 10 books a month.
I always use the library as a resource for different things. I was the first to get to borrow Mimi Gs book and Professor Pincushion book. I als.was one of the first ones to borrow Ahead of the curve b😮ook.
I use my e-library for Libby books all of the time, but I never thought of accessing the resources that you mentioned in this video to support my sewing. Thanks so much for such great inspiration!
You had me at library ❤❤❤

Love this video. Thanks. Am looking for the early to mid 1900 fashion drafting mags/booklets called “Haslam System of Dress Cutting.” Do you know how to access these?
I would check out archive.org, scribd.com, or worldcat.org. Hope that helps!
This was great info. Thank you. Sew a pattern from the this info. I bet others will like seeing one done. 😊
Good idea!
Great suggestion. Libraries really are a wealth of free information and have sadly become under-used.
Agreed!

I guess this is in the states, here in the UK unfortunately we don’t have this available to us, we do have c.ds and audio books. 🙏💚☘️
Glad you have some resources!
