'The Cheeses'
Had a rather lovely surprise today. Sifting through some boxes of fabric in a charity shop I found a few metres of a vintage floral design, suitable for a forthcoming project, wrapped in clear plastic. It looked to be in excellent condition so I didn't unwrap it.
At home, parcel unwrapped, what should I find printed at the bottom of the fabric but the World War Two CC41 logo! (A.K.A. 'The Cheeses')
Um, now the dilema of 'to cut or not to cut'?
Here'a link to the Home Front website & an article on clothes rationing & the CC41 logo

A colleague informs me that she is still using the CC41 sheets she had as a child - and they're still going strong. Crickey!
I'll ponder a little longer...
