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. Forms part of the Veterans History Project. 1 pamphlet : col. 8.5 x 11 in.
