Download: Re-Make Wrinkles (1940s Canadian guide)
May 17, 2010
Shortly after the US government published Make & Mend for Victory, Canada’s Wartime Prices and Trade Board issued a similar wartime publication of its own: Re-Make Wrinkles. Illustrated with simple line drawings and stapled into a plain brown cover, Re-Make Wrinkles shows how to cut down adult clothes for children’s and women’s wear and even suggests which patterns to use.
A great way to use up all those spare petticoats you’ve got lying around the house. Enjoy!

I just love the thrify-ness of this era. I’m actually doing (well, thinking about doing) a remake from a vintage store find. It’s awesome fabric but the skirt was always to big, so I ripped out all the seams and will refashion into something. Great post.
This is FABULOUS! Thanks for posting!
