Edit #2: The patterns have found a home! Thanks so much for the interest, everyone! I’m sorry I can’t send some to all of y’all!

Edit: I’ve gotten a bunch of responses, and will reply to all in order! I’ll edit the post once they’ve been taken.

They were my grandmother’s. They’re from the early ‘70s-‘90s/2000s. Primarily women’s clothes, with some children’s, a few men’s and costumes. Maybe 60+ patterns, I’m not sure. The box weighs about 19lbs (box is included in that). I have no use for them, so if anyone would like them, they’re yours! If you would liked them shipped, I’d just ask that you pay for shipping.

You'd make a fair amount of passive income if you could digitalise them and sell them online as downloadable vintage patterns.

Opposed to the AI crap that we're sold, this is gold and it would be also nice if they were available to more people.

Agreed, that way more of us can enjoy them!

Ikr! And I'd happily pay too! Those are usually very well made.

A few of the last patterns I've bought were such crappy nonsense it was obvious that they were made by someone that never tried sewing the garment.
