Aunt Martha's Workbasket, July, 1937


In this issue from the summer of 1937, readers can choose from projects that include two garden hats crocheted from crepe paper, a two-color star quilt, another hat to sew from linen or pique, and the pot-holders on the cover.  Free download from the Antique Pattern Library.

  1. The hat may be closed with a zipper?! I've never seen that before. Buttons, yes, but a zip? Can you imagine rolling all that crepe paper for yarn?
    These little books are always full of surprises.

  2. I have to wonder if crepe paper was a lot cheaper then than it is today.
