This vintage compendium includes a sewing kit, embroidery kit, french knitting bobbin, a loom and a tapestry set.  Remarkably, it all seems to be complete and unused, and so is perhaps a rare find! The original instructions are included and the outer box is in good condition considering its age.

]]> Play School Patterns book by Joy Gammon – kitsch and nostalgic! https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/play-school-patterns-book-joy-gammon-kitsch-nostalgic/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=play-school-patterns-book-joy-gammon-kitsch-nostalgic Mon, 02 Apr 2018 21:10:38 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=2312 A piece of childhood nostlagia masquerading as a craft book for sewing and knitting, we present to you "Play School Patterns" by Joy Gammon, published in 1983.  You might very well see this as a handy guide to toys and clothes to knit and sew, but it's much more. It's also quite kitsch and very worthy for the photographs and naivety contained inside which are certain to raise a smile, as well as possibly re-ignite some memories.

This particular book is in excellent condition - almost as new - which is remarkable given how old it is. It is filled with great photos throughout. We have tried not to spoil things by taking too many photos ourselves, but you'll forgive us (we hope!) for revealing "Hamble's track suit" -- knitted no less!
