This September 1951 issue of Home Notes features draft-at-home patterns for a pillbox hat, camisole evening blouse, and bolero. I've scaled and digitised the patterns (size 32-34in bust as in the magazine) as a bonus download.

Our first magazine for the month is a copy of Everywoman magazine from September 1947.

Aside from that adorable cover artwork, my favourite feature in this issue is a spread with details of the variety of women's war work.

This magazine comes with a special bonus project, two "easy to make" velvet hats including the petal hat illustrated on the front cover. I've digitised the templates for both hats, which are attached as printable PDFs in both A0 and tiled versions.

Just for fun, I thought I'd share this "Lingerie For All" pattern catalogue as a bonus magazine this month. Features delightful illustrations of the latest nightgowns, pyjamas, dressing gowns and slips, as well as a knitting pattern for vest and panties!

Petula Clark, autumn fashions, illustrated fiction and knitting patterns all feature in our third magazine for September, an issue of Home Notes from 1951.

Our second magazine this month is "Woman" from September 1945. Features "clever furnishing tricks" DIY ideas, and and a creative necklace made from pinecones which I absolutely have to try!
