Description: Cover of a "Make Do and Mend" pamphlet, as designed by Jill Greenwood. Make Do and Mend was a series published by the UK Government's Ministry of Information in 1943. These iconic publications provided tips to housewives on harsh rationing, giving advice on how to stay frugal yet chic by reusing old clothing, creating ‘decorative patches’ to cover holes in worn garments; unpicking and re-knitting old jumpers, and protecting one's garments against the ‘moth menace’.
