She is sewing at the British War Relief Society headquarters in the Neil P. Anderson Building. Mrs. Vowles is sitting at a sewing machine. She has on a flower pattern dress with a collar and buttons running down the front. Around the room are two chalkboards, more sewing machines, an ironing board, and a table with sewing supplies.
