>With just a few days until Christmas I’ve been scratching my head for things to post! My holiday prep is way behind, I have done no sewing for myself, and I keep posting catalog images so have been craving a change!
I went and rummaged in my bookshelves and pulled out this cute little vintage booklet from 1942 of “Gifts You can Sew.” Here’s a few cute last minute projects- perfect for WWII re-enactors or your “man in khaki or sailor in blue”. Hey, maybe you might even want to make that sewing kit for yourself ;)
