Hi,
I would like to make some scarfs. However I cannot print out the pattern. I have an old computer and not sure if it is compatible with the format.
Help!!

hi Linda,
The National WWII museum flyer says that you can request a pattern, or if you have questions or comments to contact Lauren at lauren.handley@nationalww2museum.org or call 504-527-6012 ext. 229.
Good Luck! I think it’s great that you are going to make scarves for the veterans!
