For Sale - 1930s German Sewing Pattern Magazine

Well, I'm not here to blog, but rather to flog something - I have a 1937 German sewing pattern magazine for sale on eBay, which some of you might be interested in, find it here.

I somehow ended up with 2 of these, hence why I'm selling this one. There are some stunning patterns, 91 in total, every outfit pictured inside (and on the cover), unlike some of the magazines which only have some. It's in pretty good nick, plus the pattern sheets are untouched and in great shape. For those of you not interested in bidding, I'm sure you wouldn't mind some delightful images for inspiration:

1950s Lace Blouse Knitting Pattern

Along with the movie magazines, The Spaniard also found a load of 'Pins and Needles' magazines from the 1950s. They contain a few sewing related pages and a fair few knitting and crochet patterns, which I intend to share. I can't knit and have no intention of learning, so I hope others might make them and enjoy them!

First up, this sweet lace blouse

The PDF file can be accessed and downloaded with this link (I hope):

I haven't forgotten the giveaway I promised for reaching over 100 followers, I'm still thinking of what to offer.

Hollywood Spotlight 1940s

My boyfriend (The Spaniard) bought me a stash of old movie magazines at a local junk shop. I estimate these to be from the mid 40s. I love the hairstyles and prints.
