1960 Indoor Swing

Rainy-Day Swing
Designed to hang from three clothesline hooks screwed to the basement joists, this indoor swing will while away many hours for cooped-up youngsters.  It's made from 1 x 3 lumber, 1-inch dowels, and hung with strong hemp rope

from Dec 1960 Popular Mechanics Magazine

I would love to see some of these completed.

Please post a picture of your completed project!

As time permits, I am going to share many patterns and vintage arts/crafts.  These are timeless and never go out of style.

Here is a baby bonnet pattern from 1961.

I hope you enjoy making it!

 

1961 Five Point Star Bedspread ~ Crochet Pattern

I am trying to get as many of these vintage patterns online so a new generation can enjoy making them.

It would make me SO HAPPY to see some of these patterns actually made, so please post pictures of these projects actually completed!  And if you sell your handmade creations online, feel free to post a link to your shop with your picture.

I am publishing these free of charge, but would be grateful for any amount donation to help offset the time it takes to get them scanned and published.  Even donations as small as 50 cents can help.  I still work full time and have kids in school, so this is a labor of love.  Keeping the art of needlework alive and these vintage patterns working to create heirlooms.

Thank you and look forward to seeing some pictures!
