Make Do and Mend – Bourne Hall Kids’ Club

On Saturday, 12th October (1pm-2.30pm) find out all about the Make Do and Mend initiative.

From June 1941 until 1949, buying new clothes was rationed in Britain. A short film was made by the Ministry of Information in 1943 and was called Make Do and Mend.

This was part of the Government’s campaign urging people to repair, reuse and reimagine their existing clothes during the War. Because all the cloth was going to make millions of uniforms, handmade and hand-repaired clothing became an essential part of wartime life.
This inspired people to be more resourceful in general, and we can learn much from it about recycling and waste reduction today.
