It was intended to provide housewives with useful tips on how to be both frugal and stylish in times of harsh rationing. With its thrifty design ideas and advice on reusing old clothing, the pamphlet was an indispensable guide for households. Readers were advised to create pretty \u2018decorative patches\u2019 to cover holes in warn garments; unpick old jumpers to re-knit chic alternatives; turn men\u2019s clothes into women\u2019s; as well as darn, alter and protect against the \u2018moth menace\u2019. An updated version of the book was recently released to coincide with the economic recession, offering similar frugal advice for 21st century families.-British Library<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewartimekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/makedoandmend.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-100\" src=\"https:\/\/thewartimekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/makedoandmend-300x234.jpg\" alt=\"makedoandmend\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewartimekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/makedoandmend-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thewartimekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/makedoandmend-1024x800.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thewartimekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/makedoandmend.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=thewartimekit-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=178243027X&amp;asins=178243027X&amp;linkId=M4HHZZGBKY3TPXLH&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Make Do and Mend was a pamphlet issued by the British Ministry of Information in the midst of WWII.
