DUFFEMS Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Can't remember that Duffems,but used to knit dolls mittens out of the thread. The things we did for entertainment, we knew how to have a good time, jumpers for goalposts and blanket thread for dolls' mittens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkywinky Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 They were called "Liberty" as they were designed to replace the bnoned corsets used in the Victorian era and the smoother more softer fabric was seen to free the womanor child from the restrictive undergarments worn during the previous era.

CapnEgg Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Relative liberty, then. I remember talking with a busty woman at a re-enactment. She was dressed completely as a woman would in the 1600s, and said that she felt more comfortable than when wearing modern clothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1941 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 don't know why but i used to bite the rubber buttons off mine,so ended up with a safety pin to hold it together,and if i felt really rebellious i'd pull the stitching out of the army blankets. ---------- hi shelia, i think that why they made rurbber buttons so they would survive when they went through the wooden mangle. can you remember the pink powder dental tooth-paste called UCRYL, it made your teeth white and if the didn`t work in the old days they would use soot or carbolic soap ( YAK ) :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
