Here are some scans showing easy crafts and things to make to sell at a church sale or bazaar from the July 1913 Modern Priscilla. These include ideas about how to make needlebook covers, spool cases, pin cushions, work boxes, and more… with fancy embroidery and needlework, ofcourse!

The next page is crochet patterns for the summer toilette, including high neck yolks and handkerchief bags.

Finally, the last page I scanned included some entertaining ideas for the summer and a Campbell’s Soup advertisement. Thimble parties, Ice carnivals, and more- what fun for a turn of the century Edwardian lady!
