A little find

I love old magazines and I found these when I was in Lisbon. I tried looking to see which year they were printed but I couldn't find any date or year in it. Perhaps it is there somewhere written in Portugese which I can't read. I would guess these fashions are from around late 1950s or early sixties. What do you think? 


They are typcal magazines for women with crochet, sewing and knitting patterns.
Pattern for baby cloths
I even found this pattern block for a jacket for a child I think. I don't think it is for a doll


I would like to incorporate these pages into a collage some day. Just like today there are a lot of adverts the only difference is they are more related to house hold goods and eating places rather than for beauty and health products unlike todays magazines.

  1. I would guess them to be even earlier, Shashi, maybe the 40s. I have some magazines from that era and the styles look similar. They'll make wonderful collage elements!

  4. Oh, those are cool Shashi! I agree with Mary though - early early 50's at the latest. I collect old magazines too. Aren't they fun?!
