The magazine, which is mostly comics and stories aimed at high school girls, is available to download from the Internet Archive.
Quickest way to change an old shirt is to change the buttons. just take the garment with you to make sure the new buttons fit the button holes!
ReplyDeleteWWII officially ended in 1945, but there was still rationing o both sides of the Atlantic for quite a while. Clothing was one of the things that was rationed, and women had to find creative ways to refurbish existing clothing.
