Make Do and Mend: Easy to Make Slippers from the Second World War

Before I begin, I just wanted to say, new followers - hello! Thank you so much for reading this blog, I really appreciate it. It's wonderful to know that while I'm merrily tapping away at my keyboard there are folk out there actually reading what I have to say.



Don't be shy, say hi! And if you think I'm being an utter she-devil for not following back - I keep track of pretty much all of my favourite blogs through Bloglovin' so you should find me on there. I'm just about coming up to the two month blogging mark now, and so far it's been loads of fun, and I've already met so many lovely people through this blog and Twitter.

Thank you! xxx

And now... on with the show!

I have for you a Second World War Board of Trade issued leaflet. As well as being interesting, the best news is that if you're a make do and mend thrifty sort you can have a go at making these slippers yourself! Just scroll over each photo to zoom in.

I'd love to hear back if anyone succeeds in making a pair of these! If you'd prefer to be able to enlarge the leaflet and print it out just drop me an email at missbeatrixwrites@gmail.com, and I'll be more than happy to email it over to you.
