A Few Pretty Pages of NeedleCraft magazine from January of 1927.
For your vintage eye-candy today I have a few pretty pages from the January 1927 edition of Needlecraft Magazine.
The cover is especially lovely on this one and is part of a whole series by illustrator Helen Grant, making it one of a few prized by Needlework collectors.
This is a truly beautiful example of 1920s sewing and needlework ideas.
The original was 40 pages of articles, lovely drawings, instruction, and embellishment lessons for making beautiful clothes, aprons, gifts, and housewares.
There are even very basic instructions included for sewing the aprons featured in this photo, though no pattern is given.
Don't you just wish you could still get magazines this petty today?

I love the gentleness of old magazines; the presumption of self respect and respect for others, the kindness.
I do too. I especially love adding some of that feeling of gentility (and the vocabulary of kindness) back into my day-to-day life where I can.
This is quite "delightsome" - I love finding old words that have fallen out of use just as much as seeing the styles and advertisements!
As a lover of languages, this word really delighted me too. :)
Yes it would be so wonderful to get magazines this beautiful today 😍
