I weeded through part of my mom's sewing stash this morning, and there are a couple dozen pattern packets that look realistically (re)usable. You can view them here:

patterns seeking homes

If you're interested in any of them, please e-mail me with your address and the pattern(s) you want. First-come first-served, etc.

I cannot vouch that these are complete sets, which is why I'm offering them free of charge. That said, if you feel so moved, donations of time, goods, or money to your local cancer society would be much appreciated.
