Description
During
the
years
of
World
War
II
it
was
considered
your
patriotic
duty
to
sacrifice
and
make
do
with what
you
had. There was
rationing
in
food
,
gas
and
even
fabrics
for
clothing
.
One
of the
ways
women
could
help
with the
war
effort
was to be
frugal
with their
clothing
.
Taking
an
old
item
and
making
it
new
was
all
the
rage
during
these
years
. This
pamphlet
was
produced
by the
American
Thread
Company
as a
guide
to
help
the
home
seamstress
remake
her
old
clothing
into
up-to-date
fashionable
garments
.
