Leisure Arts: The Magazine by Leisure Arts (Crafts, Magazine, 1988, Leisure Arts, 80s crafts, teddy bear pattern, vintage magazine, spring crafts)

This is the April 1988 issue of "Leisure Arts: The Magazine," containing 30 projects. Highlights include a Victorian throw with teddy bears, French Country rabbits, spring-themed sweaters, and painted Easter jars.

Review:
A lovely issue of Leisure Arts' magazine filled with the soft, romantic country aesthetic of the late 1980s. The teddy bear-themed throw is a particularly charming and ambitious project that was very popular in that period.

Author summary:
Leisure Arts is one of America's largest publishers of instructional craft content. Their magazine, books, and leaflets have been a primary source of patterns for needlecrafters and general hobbyists for decades.

The collectible value is low. Leisure Arts magazines are common and not considered rare. The grade appears good. Its value is for the specific patterns and its historical interest as a representation of late-80s "country cute" and Victorian-revival craft styles.
