Make do and mend: Dressmaking and style in the 1940s

The 'make-do and mend' mantra of the 40s is relived at this event giving all you budding seamstresses and tailors the opportunity to get creative. Like Glenn Miller before us, we'll get you 'In the Mood' with an inspiring talk about the popular styles of the time and the challenge of looking good with limited materials and resources. You'll then be invited to grab needle and thread, and design your own improvised fashion items worthy of iconic 1940s style. And if you'd rather leave the creation to someone else, why not visit our pop-up vintage stall and snap up one of our classic, period garments.
