Overview

This invaluable guide to making clothes last longer is a loving reproduction of the publication. It is the original eco guide from a time when preserving our clothes was a necessity not a fashion. Make Do and Mend was for a generation for whom sewing came as second nature, but now it seems most of us are all fingers and thumbs when it comes to threading a needle, rushing out to buy a new blouse when the buttons fall off, or throwing away old socks when they get holes. Well not anymore. Be it fixing old favourites which have seen better days; avoiding a trip to the dry cleaners by knowing how to clean leather gloves or storing your clothes properly so moths don't get at them during the winter months, this indispensable guide allows us all to make the most of what we have.
