Plastic Canvas Ornament Vintage Book

I have mentioned several times that I use free Flickr or Morgue Files pictures when I do not have my own pictures to illustrate my blogs. I have received a number of inquires about the pattern for the plastic canvas ornaments on the Plastic Canvas Christmas page. Normally I have no idea where the photographer gets the items. The patterns could be orignal or from a book. However, while buying patterns for Christmas at a vintage site I came across the pattern for the items and bought the book for a family member as a Christmas present.

Please be clear I am not selling this item and since it was given as a Christmas present, cannot share it with anyone. However, I find it easier to search for patterns when I know the information I am seeking. It is hard to find a pattern based solely on a finished photograph of an item made.

The pattern booklet is Santa's Workshop in Plastic Canvas by Dick Martin. Leisure Arts published the pattern. The booklet is number is 361, published in 1985.

I know that is not as helpful as providing the pattern, but it is a start for those who want to track the item down. I will add a link to this information on the Plastic Canvas Christmas page for people who arrive there and want information on finding the pattern as well.

Plastic Canvas Tissue Boxes

I had people asking about free patterns for tissue boxes so I began a search to find locate what resources were available on the Internet. This is what I have located so far in my search.

Update: February 28, 2014

A visitor kindly let me know some of the links had gone dead so I went and checked. Thankfully the Free Pattern main link was still live. They do occasionally move some of their patterns, but all where still on the site. Any time you visit their site; always try a search if you don't find a pattern you went to find. They do move stuff and you may find it there under a different link. The same was true of tsplace. Still around, just a link change. From what I can find it looks like Mountain Harmony is trying to transition to a new website. It has an updated coming soon message from 2014, but it looks like the transition started in 2013. For the moment, I have the links saved from the Wayback machine. If the new website comes up, I'll try to get the new links posted.
