My mother said she did sewing in the WPA, but I can’t find any pics anywhere that show that WPA workers had ‘uniforms’. If the style was popular back then, I suppose it could be a hand-me-down or charity because I believe they were very poor.
This would have been at least 10 years before the WPA.

I did extensive genealogy and history research awhile back. I was surprised and disappointed how much my Mom got wrong, or knew nothing about.
BTW is her surname “Mathes,” in Maine?
