If you want to look for period needlework patterns and antique literature here are few links that are just recently scanned for download. More and more of 19th century books are coming online. They are public domain for the most part but did you know that clothing designers often get inspiration from antique patterns? If you find public domain scans that are available for download, I would recommend you save them for reference on your own computer. They may not be there tomorrow.
