The magazine is in nice condition for its age. The cover does show some wear and there is a piece of adhesive tape with the date marked on it,otherwise just fine with no ripped, torn or missing pages. A gem for the fashion designer/ collector!   This larger than most sewing basket is done in natural and forest green woven straw. It has a handle and the usually loop clasp. The sewing basket measures 4 1/2 inches tall by 11 3/4 inches long by 8 1/4 inches deep. The inside has one stain on the bottom at the back but is lined with sky blue acetate satin. The top is puffed to hold needles and pins. The bottom looks to have sustained some water damage (no smell or mildew) as the paper covering over the wood is peeling off. I don't see any markings.  This lovely hand made half doll pin cushion has a light lavender skirt with old tatting for trim.  She stands 6 1/2 inches high and is about 4 1/4 inches across the bottom.  I am sure the doll itself is not old, but the tatting is.  She would sure be a pretty addition to any collection.

This is a vintage unused German paper mache' half doll waiting for her skirt.  It still has the cellophane wrapper over the face and hair and is in the original box marked Germany. She is approximately 5 3/4 inches tall and she is beautiful!  The bottom of the doll is also marked Germany. I believe it to be from the 1920's, but was doubtful being cellophane wrapped.  Notice the box is not glued, it is stapled.  By researching, I found that cellophane was invented in 1908, patented in 1917 and put into commercial use by DuPont in 1923.  The Best of sewing with nancy Sewing Book hardcover 1993.  144 pages.
