Flipping Through: Needlecraft, August 1925

  There's no better way to learn about a time period than to read through its magazines.  Many magazines have been archived and are free to read online(which is where I find most of my sources for this blog), but I have added a few to my collection that I haven't found online.

  This post is the first in a series called 'Flipping Through', where I'll show the entirety of the inside and out of my antique magazines, and point out some interesting parts for each.

Today's 'Flipping Through' is Needlecraft from August 1925.
