What do I do with old Simplicity patterns?

Is it illegal to copy sewing patterns?
You cannot copyright the idea behind a sewing pattern, so if you created a pattern for a new kind of shirt, you cannot protect your idea.

Are sewing patterns protected by copyright?
In the United States, patterns are generally not eligible for copyright protection as copyright does not apply to methods or “procedures for doing, making, or building things.” Additionally, an item created from a pattern also lacks copyright protection if it is considered to be a functional object.
Do old sewing patterns have any value?
On the other hand, well-used patterns can still be valuable and usable. If the design is fantastic, unusual or rare, condition may not be as important. However, poor condition and incompleteness do affect value, so pay accordingly. And for an ordinary design, it might be better to wait for a copy in better condition.
Where can I find old sewing patterns?
Most of the patterns are secondhand. They ship the pattern in a plastic bag via the U.S. Postal Service. As they are a vendor on Amazon.com, you may find their patterns for sale there. You can search their site for specific pattern companies such as Butterick, McCall’s, Simplicity, and Vogue.
