Handmade, as its title implies, was a fashion magazine for crafters, filled with knitting and sewing patterns and ideas for enhancing one's wardrobe. In one of its 1989 issues the magazine suggested:
"an inexpensive way to make a rich winter fashion statement: cheap shirts — or ones you've made yourself — cleverly decorated and trimmed."
To illustrate it took some cheap white shirts from Woolworths (less than $10!) added trimming and altered one or two details.
The example on the cover had the buttons on the shirt replaced with press-studs and the front placket covered with ribbon. Further ribbons were added to the front to "form a dramatic yoke" and the collar was also edged in ribbon. The accessories include silver cuffs worn as arm-bands.
