Australian Craft Magazines Archive: Handmade Australia Magazines Summer 1993 (Vol 9 Issue 4) to Mar/Apr 1994 (Vol 10, No 2) - Return of the Top 20 Kids Knits and Dinosaur Makes

Handmade Australia Magazine no's 39, 40 and 41 (issues 09/04, 10/01 and 10/02) are packed full of great makes even today.

Handmade Magazine 41 (10/02)

There is the return of the popular Top 20 kids knits in issue 10/02. The Mr Men one is my favourite but they are all so clever. There is also some lovely Regency inspired clothing for women to make, plus the cleverest patchwork egg decoration. I have wanted to try this one for quite a while.

Handmade Magazine no 39 (09/04) Flying Dinosaurs

There is also a really clever dinosaur themed group of makes in 09/04. I love the Pterandon and the Stegasaurus has really great spines. I've also previously made the Mini Christmas Puddings recipe featured on page 52. They are easy and really yummy but don't misread the recipe like I did and add 1/2 cup of rum instead of a couple of tablespoons!
This issue also sees the return of the wonderful mice soft toys this time with a Christmas theme. There is even a Queen Victoria mouse.

Handmade no 40 (10/01) is the summer special with some nice activities for holidays for kids but my favourite is the cubby house built out of recycled milk cartons. I have always been fascinated by shells and the shell embroidery is a very nice make.
