Make do & mend

A few months ago I read Dorothy Butler's memoirs, and there was a bit where she talked about having to write an essay at school about the "importance of thrift." I thought that sounded like a great thing to write an essay on...perhaps I was born in the wrong generation! So I was really happy to get this poster, by Clare Owen, in the new issue of Frankie magazine; words to live by I reckon!
And it matches one of my sewing machines. Yes I did say one of my sewing machines!
