In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Crochet Fashions." It featured patterns for fashion accessories that readers could crochet themselves and add to their present wardrobe. Shelley modeled a piece from Simplicity pattern number 5174 which contained crochet instructions for a pullover top and a shoulder bag - accessories for any fashionista in the early '70s. Shelley modeled a variation of the pullover top. She also modeled pieces from Simplicity pattern number 5175 which contained crochet instructions for three pullover tops. She modeled the short striped sleeveless top with a ribbed midriff, the cap sleeved top with a ribbed midriff, and the the long sleeveless top with contrasting edging and a heart-shaped pocket.
