Handmade Australia Magazine No 36 to 38 - Sashiko and a school Fete Special

Handmade Magazine 36 (9/01)

Handmade numbers 36 to 38 (issues 19/01 to 19/03) have some really interesting projects inside.  Handmade 19/01 is the first issue to totally lose the person cover as the main feature and instead focus on the craft content.  Additionally, the content of the magazine contains less fashion sewing and much more craft - a shift to where Handmade is famous for.

Handmade Magazine 38 (9/03)

 Handmade 36 is the first country style issue and I think is a for-runner for Country Threads magazine that appears a few years later when Handmade moves to Express Publications.

Handmade Magazine 37 Sashiko Special 1

Handmade 37 from Winter 1993 contains a special on Sashiko, one of my personal favourite crafts - the timeless Japanese country craft of running stitch patterns.  It also contains lovely Peruvian style kids fashions to sew and knit. I also love the tassel making how-to.

Handmade Magazine 37 (9/02)

Handmade Australia 19/03 is a great fete special with pages full of really good makes that are great even today. This issue is a real find for serious community craft makers.
