If you thought the apocalypse was only happening in Hollywood blockbusters, think again! For crafters and lovers of physical media, it’s a bleak day indeed. Imagine finding out that your beloved sewing pattern brands—Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls, and Vogue—have been sold to a liquidator! That’s right, folks, time to mourn your favorite tissue patterns.
But wait, there’s more! This sale doesn’t just spell doom for your DIY dreams; it means the last of the large-scale tissue printers in the U.S. are on the chopping block. So not only can our sewing days be numbered, but the preservation of sewing history is now even more critical.
I mean, what’s next? Are we going to replace all fabric with virtual patterns? Do we really want our grandkids to think that sewing is just a pixelated meme? Let’s grab our hot glue guns and rally to save those patterns before they’re confined to vintage thrift shops!
