I got a box of patterns (and several copies of "The Workbasket" magazine) at a garage sale some time ago. The box was free, and I figured I might find something in there of interest.
Interest, definitely, LOL.
Unexpected gem #1: From the March 1971 vol. of the magazine - an article expounding on the wonders of sewing double-knit polyester. Okay, it's the 70s, big deal. Then - "...This particular fabric costs about $8 a yard." Holy cow! $8 a yard in 1971??? It's not even some kind of fancy silk brocade, it's 100% polyester!
Man.
I'll spare you the recipe for Kraut-Olive Salad, intended to be pressed inside a hollowed french loaf and chilled. How...um...appetizing. And I don't think I could make myself try the Kraut chocolate cake, either (takes 2/3 cup of rinsed, drained, and chopped sauerkraut). It might be fine, I dunno, but I'm afraid to try.
The knit two-color man's tie is pretty amusing too. It reminds me of the ones that were in when I was in middle school (in the mid-80s).
I think I'm gonna enjoy just flipping through the little magazines.
