Fashion on the Ration! :::: The Fashion on the Ration (FOTR) challenge is my attempt to spend one year shopping and sewing within the British wartime clothing ration imposed in 1941. "I’ve allotted myself 66 clothing “coupons” — the 1941 ration for each man, woman and child in Britain. Armed with my ration, my stash, period tips and techniques and modern style advice, I will upgrade my wardrobe while sewing a wartime mini-wardrobe from vintage patterns and style sources. (what a cool idea.)

These images are part of a show called Threads of Feeling that just ended in March, at The Foundling Museum in London. Here’s the story: During the late 18th century women who, for whatever reason, couldn’t care for their babies could bring them to The London Foundling Hospital. The idea was that the hospital would care for the babies until the mothers were ready to come back and get their children – sadly, many of them never did. However, in hopes that these women would be able to return one day, they put a system in place. No names were recorded, instead each mother left a piece of fabric that was unique in some way. Part of the fabric was left in the baby’s file, and the other piece was taken by the mother. This would prove which baby was hers when, and if, she returned. Over 16,000 children were left there between 1741 and 1760
