1940's Knitting - Aufgetrennt Und New Gestrickt Fur Damen



 
 
 
 
Aufgetrennt Und New Gestrickt Fur Damen
(New Stitches and Styles for Women)

Written in German

I was recently contacted by the very lovely and very glamourous Ingrid from Couturette, who wondered if I would like to link up to the vintage german magazines she publishes on her blog! Well one look and I was sold, they are fabulous and I will be linking up to the others soon. Though I can't read more than the odd word it doesn't matter as they are just so lovely to look at, and might even inspire me to learn a little german!

1950's Sewing - Sunbonnet

Sunbonnet 
(1952)
"Make ‘em to match your housedresses, your gardening outfits, even your sports clothes or your square dance costumes. Here’s one that opens flat for easy ironing and it’s so very easy to make. Two-thirds of a yard of average material will be enough"
