Needlecraft Magazine. August, 1920.
Needlecraft Magazine for August 1920, published by the Needlecraft Publishing Company in Augusta, Maine, aimed at women who sewed, crocheted and knitted at home. The pictures are small plain line drawings and photographs of lace collars, a doily, a rectangular cloth and premium offers such as jewellery and towels, showing how needlework patterns and fancy edgings were presented to readers in the period. A designer could take from them the scalloped lace-edge silhouette, the radiating spoke-like border of the round doily, and the simple hatched and dotted edging motifs.
