Finding stuff to put on the blog on Tuesdays gives me a great excuse to burrow around on the Internet - and here courtesy of Pinterest is a dolls' house project from the April 30th, 1938 issue of Hobbies Weekly, a small (fewer than 30 pages) publication that looks as though it was done rather on the cheap. Still great fun and some wonderful person has scanned several issues from 1938 to 1944 and put them up on the Internet Archive. Enjoy. EDITED TO ADD: left-clicking to enlarge the image above results in reduced legibility but if you enlarge from the Internet Archive page, the font is still faint but readable. The pattern pieces on the center of the booklet are quite clear.
(The sink is 6 inches tall so, not to scale).

What fun projects - especially for kids during the summer.
Check out how to make soap sculptures on the page before
It's a fun booklet - not easy to read but at least when you enlarge it from the Internet Archive page the font is still clear. I'm surprised they were able to stay in publication after the wartime paper restrictions were enacted.
