1940s Make Do and Mend Accessories & Gifts Craft Pattern

A charming collection of 1940s Make Do and Mend accessories, created during the wartime rationing era when small amounts of yarn and fabric were put to very good use.

The leaflet includes a variety of practical and decorative projects, including crocheted collars, bows, slippers, hat pins and other small accessories. Most are crocheted, with a few sewn items included, and many require only small quantities of yarn or fabric.

Full making instructions are provided for all the designs.

Please note: the slippers do not include a full-size pattern. A scaled pattern diagram is provided, which you will need to enlarge and draw out to the required size yourself before making them.

A lovely little 1940s collection for anyone interested in wartime crafts, vintage crochet and authentic Make Do and Mend projects — and particularly useful for turning leftover yarn and fabric into something worth making.
