Now and then stitching and crochet 1952

I found this seasonal issue in my collection of old ‘stitchcraft’ magazines.

I thought you might like to share and compare ?

Note the date December 1952

62 years old this month!

…….and the price 1 shilling I believe that is 5 pence…..

This is the back cover, how gorgeously innocent looking and no photo-shopping the pics in those days!

This is what you could make from this issue for christmas gifts…..

This is my latest issue of Mollie Makes…..

Note the price £5 as opposed to 5 pence 62 years ago….

this is the back cover…gorgeous quilt!

This is what I made from this issue for a Christmas gift

It is reassuring to know that some things will not change, crafting and stitching and crochet, they will endure.

But….. its up to us all, dearest  bloggers, to keep it all alive and thriving.

I think we are succeeding don’t you?

bestest as ever
