This signs has been created to commemorate the fifty year anniversary of the introduction of this slogan by the British War Cabinet during the Second World War, & to pay homage the creativity & tenacity of women all over the world. In Great Britain Clothes were rationed during the war just like food, petrol & soap. Clothing rationing in the UK began on 1 June 1941, hence this signs reference to ' Recycling Since 1941'. In 1941 every person in Britain was allowed 66 clothing coupons annually, which more or less added up to one complete outfit a year. Clothes bought from shops were designed to use as little material as possible. During this time a gentleman’s suit would have only three pockets, no turn ups, only three buttons, & a maximum trouser length of 48 cm. Women's dresses would have no elastic waist bands, no fancy belts, & for a night dress you would have to pay 6 coupons, 16 coupons for a mans overcoat, 11 coupons for a dress, half a coupon for a handkerchief & 8 coupons for pyjamas.   Because of this women were encouraged to repair & re-make their family's old clothes. Old curtains were cut up to make skirts & dresses, unwanted jerseys were unraveled & knitted into something else. Make up & stockings were especially hard to come by during this period & it became a fashion of necessity for well dressed women to draw a line down the back of each leg to give the appearance that they were wearing stockings This sign will sit very comfortably adorning any space in the home, workshop or studio, & will stand beautifully freestanding on a shelf, or can be wall or door mounted using the fixing kit in any eye catching place of your choice. As with all of our signs, all of our products are uniquely made.

This is actually a magical print... At night, when you are asleep (and it will only happen if you are truly asleep) all the nursery rhymes come to life & tumble off the paper & onto the floor. They then spend all night chasing each other, playing games & singing their rhymes as loudly as they can. Of course this will only happen in a child's room, & only if that child still believes in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy & Trolls who live under bridges... Do you?
