Macrame! Yep – that is a strong memory for me.

Hobbytex was another that I loved to do with my Mum! It was like fabric paint in a big ballpoint pentube thingy. I still have a pillowcase that I made.

I also had a fantastic Ra-ra skirt (denim ofcouse), the oversized T-shirt that had FRONT and BACK written on it in fluro!! Frankie Goes to Hollywood gave us that little fashion look – remember him??

Don’t forget the huge permed hair!!!

Ahh, I loved the 80′s.

Will hunt down some Macrame Amelia!

That’s my 80s craft memory, we all did it at school and my mum has a lifetime supply of macrame and wooden bead keyrings as a result of my efforts :-)
Those photos are hilarious! My mother-in-law recently tried to give me her old knitting machine (I declined given how enormous it is and how unlikely it is that I will get into machine knitting) and the pattern books were full of things like the photos you’ve posted.
