Slow fashion is my passion
Let’s rescue incredible fashion from the dust bins of history together! With vintage crochet, knitting and sewing patterns, you can channel the elegance of eras that happened long before you were born. Love the style but can’t find it in any store? You can rebel against fast fashion trends and make it yourself. Why should big fashion companies be the gatekeepers to what you get to wear?
I got the idea for this store when shopping for wedding dresses. I went to store after store, only for them to all have slight variations of the same ballgown with a sweetheart neckline that wasn’t for me. It would’ve just been easier to take things into my own hands (literally) and make it myself. With Pretty Patterns Pronto, I am giving you that power.
I am proud to offer this fashion alternative that also helps to save the planet. Slow fashion like knitting and crochet bring you joy but are also the antidote to all the pollution that comes from the fast fashion industry.
Every pattern in my shop is out of copyright and in the public domain. Due to this reason, all patterns are from before 1978. I am a professional researcher in my day job and do tons of research on every pattern to make sure there is no drama for you for if you want to sell an item you make from one of these patterns.
I speak English, French and Italian and am happy to provide customer service in these languages. Most patterns on my page will be in English but I am slowly adding more in French and Italian as I find them. Happy crafting!
