Sew and Save



Brides' Bureau - Sew and Save.
From my local flea market 2006.

This article is possibly from the 1940s. I found it amongst a collection of letters, notebooks and documents that belonged to Miss Knight. It felt like I was obtaining the contents of her bureau and part of her life without ever knowing her. The article is fascinating in terms of the craft skills that were used during war time to repair garments and recycle materials.
