Mavis
DESIGNER AND historian Penelope 
Hemingway has been researching the 
lives of the Land Girls - the members 
of the Women’s Land Army during the 
Second World War - and brings us an 
insight into their day-to-day lives in her 
article on page 43. She was inspired to 
create a jumper in their honour, and 
her design features a simple textured 
pattern found on many gloves of this 
era.
