Sharing vintage patterns?

[Hammelby]

Concidering this maby being controversial and the risk of me being slaugthered by ebay-sellers, i am going to ask this question out of carefull ignorance?

Is anyone interested in swapping vintage sewing patterns electronically? Maby it is to difficult to scan anyway, but i was curious on what you think of this idea and if someone has done this before.

Where i live it is hard to find decent pants and vests, so i am keen on sewing clothes in fabric i like (or getting someone to do it).
And since many FL readers live outside the US (where most patterns derive from) it could save us a great deal in shipping.

Good idea but...

Hej-again.

I think vintage Mens' patterns are pretty thin on the ground.
If getting them is possible, then sharing them would be very helpful.

Hej tank!

Thanks for the response.

Yes it seems that mens patterns are a bit rare, but they exist.
I think it is a shame that theese few original vintage patterns
are kept in one persons drawer instead of being sewn up by
retro style lovers all over the globe. (maby i should start a free vintage pattern lounge on my website )

..this clever gal sells -copies- of vintage patterns, but there
aint that much. Im thinking of buying the pants/ knickerbockers
pattern.
