Bit of a different type of video, but one I've been wanting to make for a long time. Hope you guys liked it!
The Workbasket was a women's magazine that originally focused on crochet, knitting, tatting, embroidery, and other types of needlework, for "Pleasure and Profit". After around 1950, they began expanding into giving advice on cooking, gardening, and other things of interest to women at the time, as well as the addition of (in my opinion) much beloved sections like Women Who Make Cents and Junior Workbasket. The magazines can be found cheaply on eBay and are a wealth of information on not only needlework, but in later issues, advertising and culture.
The first lot of magazines I purchased contained all twelve issues from 1952, hence why most of the ads in this video came from that year. While working on this video, I purchased another thirty, ranging from 1947 to 1955.

Vintage Laces

-Handkerchief Edging 8366 (Same as above)
-I can't find the last one, but it's on the site!
These patterns came from the Free Vintage Crochet website, one of my favorite resources for digitized patterns. freevintagecro...
I'm currently making these lengths of lace to make a pillow!
