I understand why Oliver + S doesn't want to keep slow selling patterns around in inventory. But would it possible that someday they could be available as PDF's? After all, there are some free patterns on this site that are already in this format.
My husband likes to move us around every couple years, unfortunately, and with each move we lose things. I'm afraid that the supply of discontinued patterns might "dry up", and I hate the possibility that I might not be able to find a replacement for an old favorite in the future.
