A book full of amazing patterns and projects and great variety for those of you with “clever fingers”! This is certainly a book not to miss out on!

The photos I have posted make up a large part of the description and if I can be of any further help please contact me.

The magazine is in good pre-loved condition, clean and unmarked throughout with the cover showing signs of handling. I have noted that the pages are discoloured but that seems to be a problem with this range of magazines.

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.
