[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulating sewing patterns

[Janet Schrader]

"follow general regalia rules" :)  For ceremonial garments I presume?  A Freudian slip?

Perhaps if someone willing to donate the patterns would cut them out of interfacing (do they still use that anymore?), the non-fusible kind, it would be nice to share expensive craft patterns.

CWMARS libraries have created records for cake pans,seed libraries, even kayaks, both single and tandem, and a ukulele.

As someone who sews a good bit, General tissue paper patterns to me would not hold up under Circulation.  Especially multi sized clothing patterns. Most of these patterns are considered one time use patterns.  On patterns I know I am going to use multiple times, I tend to adhere them to Freezer paper so I can use them multiple times.  With Multi sized patterns you need to have one pattern for each size of the pattern.

Now if we are talking other types of patterns (Crafts, home décor, etc.), these would hold up if they were made of something other than tissue, unless you reinforce them also.

Then you have to talk about missing pieces and damage to patterns, and how to best adjust for that.

As for the cataloging you would need to follow general regalia rules. Judicious use of the 500 field would be a must.

We are looking at adding sewing machines and such to a makerspace.  So, adding patterns in the catalog would be logically what they will be wanting next.

Forsyth County has had a request to consider cataloging and circulating sewing patterns.  Is there an Evergreen library that currently does this?  I'd love to speak with anyone who has either contemplated or implemented this.

Thanks,
Lise Keppler
