A charming and practical piece of wartime history, this 32-page Make Do and Mend replica booklet is packed with tips and advice from the original WW2 pamphlets distributed by the British government. Intended to combat shortages and conserve resources by encouraging people to look after their clothing and household textiles more carefully, as well as altering and recycling clothes to save precious coupons and buying new. From June 1941 until 1949 new clothes and certain textiles were rationed and a coupon system was introduced. The Make Do and Mend scheme was given official support by the Board of Trade in Autumn 1942.
Inside you’ll find:
🧵 Advice on repairing and preserving clothes
🧵 Renovation tips to give old garments a new lease of life
🧵 How to wash and care for different types of fabrics
🧵 The dreaded ‘moth menace’ and how to tackle it
🧵 Plus heaps more practical know-how!
