Shelley appeared in many spreads for many magazines from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. She appeared in various knitting and sewing magazines at the time. Shelley appeared on various spreads throughout the magazine Modern Needle/Craft in 1971. Modern Needle/Craft was publication that featured knitting, crochet and textile arts. Crochet and knitting techniques as well as cross-stitch and needlepoint tips were usually featured in the magazine. In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread that featured a couple of crocheted bags and various belts. In the spread, she modeled the Double entry Tote Bad made from Coats & Clark's yarn. The tote went well with her chic 70s fashion ensemble... a ribbed turtleneck top over a matching button-front skirt. With her hair allowed to fall and cascade down naturally, Shelley looked young, chic and refreshing. (For more, check out: Modern Needle/Craft 3)
