Make and Mend

A little patriotic-ness for this week. I love the 40s mindset of "we will get through this" "we will all do our part". Part of which was Make Do and Mend! We can all use a bit of that today in this time of economy.
"Patterns for women's suits have a wide variety of designs, but when choosing a pattern for remodelling, remember that men's suits in general have certain characteristics: a seam down the back, two darts at the waist, a side pocket on the left and frequently flap pockets."
"There is life in the old girl yet!" Suggestions for making Playsuits, Jumpers, Weskits, Boleros and Aprons from old dresses. It is suggested you make a "Pinafore from a dress by cutting out sleeves and underarm sections."

Have a good and safe holiday friends!
and
God Bless America!!
