Make Do and Mend is likely a non-fiction book, possibly historical or practical, focused on the ethos and skills of repairing and reusing items rather than replacing them. The title comes directly from a famous slogan used in Britain during World War II to encourage rationing and resourcefulness on the home front. The book could be a guide to practical skills like sewing, repairing household items, or creative recycling. Alternatively, it could be a historical account detailing the ingenuity and thriftiness of people living during periods of scarcity. It promotes sustainability, resourcefulness, and the value of repairing what you own.
