New Store For Australian Home journal Sewing Patterns: lyrebird vintage: available on Etsy!!

There's something incredible about clothing designs from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Stuff you can't really find in clothing or sewing patterns anymore. Pizzazz, uniqueness, creativity, call it what you want, I'm crazy about it.

A few years ago, I started collecting Australian Home Journals, a local magazine produced from the early 1900's that went out of business decades ago, and I recognised that I had found something really special. They were no McCalls, Butterick or Simplicity, they were simply magical.

I have a huge collection of the magazines at home but in my personal opinion, the catalogs are where it's at. I am proud to boast I have one of the largest AHJ catalog collection in the country, with almost every edition from 1941 to 1965 (and I'm not done yet!). These catalogs captured my imagination as a seamstress, with their never-before-seen designs and gorgeous, colourful illustrations evocative of those times.

This shop was a long time in the making, and it took me years to fill my collection to the degree where I'd be happy to start selling their digital reproductions to the world. As rare as they are, I don't think it's fair that only a few people in one country get to see them, so here we are.

That being said, I do have a lot of original sewing patterns, catalogs (not necessarily Home Journal), and sewing or fashion magazines in storage as well that I will be sorting through and selling as well, so keep an eye out for those in the future as LyreBird vintage expands!

So, scientist have been study living things for over 400 years. Later, the development of the microscope allows scientist to see cells for the first time because, it was hard to see. So, they can develop the cell theory by basic characteristics, of living things. You have to learn cells from other living things because, you have to learn what is the cell is look like, of its size or complexity. And it reminds us of studying of how living things work.

These are Bernice's cue cards for her hunger project: Part 2

In the 2016 “Who’s Hungry Report,” from “Daily Bread Food Bank, they say “People who live in a disability, and those having a body with a specific kind.” Those people who lived in the entire lives in Canada, and those who were immigrants. People were struggled with a lack of income and increasing high costs of shelter and food. Many who are struggling do not access any food program at all due to stigma, not knowing about them or inability to access them because of lack of money for transit or lack of physical accessibility. Yet we do know that for tens of thousands of people across Toronto, the food bank has become part of their social safety net. Aside from those important trends, poverty and hunger cut across all demographic boundaries. More and more in Toronto, they include those with both high and low levels of education. Those who are working and those who are not. Fighting for hunger means to me is to fight is to reduce poverty, ...

What is the word "Auditory" means, and why it is a learning style?

Whatever your strongest Learning Styles results are, the best way to learn something is to try using all three Learning Style approaches whenever you can. Because different activities use different parts of our brain, when we try different approaches to learn or do the same thing, our minds do a better job of mastering it. So, it means to relate to the sense of hearing. It relates to the tings that we hear.
