Gifts you can make yourself : Odhams Press : London : nd [c.1950] : book cover by Eileen M. Evans
One of the many books published by the prolific Odhams Press of London and this book demonstrates numerous ways to make various gifts - for women, men, children and the home - using a variety of skills and DIY knowledge. It is not dated but has a real post-WW2 feel given the styles and designs and, at a time of austerity, when such gifts were popular.
The cover is by Eileen M. Evans (1921 - 2006), the British graphic designer and artist who, with Reginald Mount, formed the Mount/Evans Design Studio at about this time. Evans, who had graduated from the London Reimann School in 1939, was noted for her wartime poster work. The illustration shows some of the items that the book included instructions to make; a doll, a lampshade and a cushion.
