Today I have a real treat to share with you!
The very lovely Denise, emailed me recently to share a link to an utterly amazing PDF she had found online! The PDF is a collection of Australian Home Journal issues ranging from 1949 to 1952, each issue contains multiple knitting & sewing patterns, plus recipes, adverts, stories and everything you would expect from a good vintage magazine! Its really wonderful and certainly worth a look even if your not much of a crafter.
I though to make it a little easier to find patterns if you are in a hurry or are looking for something in particular that I would do a separate post for each issue highlighting the Knitting and sewing patterns inclosed, with the relevant PDF page numbers.
So here is the first installment
Australian Home Journal 1st April 1949
