A great issue of this popular magazine, featuring wonderful projects, and features!

This magazine is in excellent condition, clean and unmarked throughout with the pattern sheet attached and unused in the centre.

I try to describe my items as accurately as possible and will gladly provide further information and photos on request.

The simplest way to find the cost of shipping or posting this item if you are overseas or the price is not listed is to contact me. I will weigh the item and calculate the best way of sending it to your specified address. Registered Mail is your choice and the additional cost (currently $2.80 within Australia) will be added to the final payment at your request.

While I am happy to combine postage on multiple purchases, it does depend on their weight and it is sometimes more economical to mail them in separate envelopes. Once calculated you can be assured that I will always get your items to you as cheaply as possible.

I do not charge any handling or packaging fees unless special padded bags or boxes are required to protect the item and I only pass on the actual postal costs that Australia Post charges me.

I post out every day in order to get the item to you as quickly as possible but keep in mind I live in Perth, Western Australia, so the delivery time to the Eastern States may take a day or two for small items and up to a week for a larger parcel
