Ah yes, I remember it well! I'm not that old(?) but a lot of this type of stuff was in my Ma's pattern pile.

Those are great - I'm similarly addicted myself...

I love 'vintage' craft mags and spend at least as long perusing the ads as I do resisting the impulse to embroider covers for budgie cages / knit cummerbunds / make balaclavas out of old blankets.
