Yesterday we fashioned ourselves fabric masks using this tutorial and the clapped out old Janome - still no light, capable only of a stuttering kind of straight stitch and now unable to reverse either.
This mask was fashioned from a pair of long outgrown shorts which had the benefit of cutting down the sewing required (because I fussy cut using the existing seamed legs for the filter pocket). We also used old pillow cases and a couple of colourful fat quarters I found languishing in a bag deep in the back of the linen press.
We cranked the heating up, and dragged everything out into the family room to work together - it was nice.
It's weird,but it is nice, these family moments

DeleteLove the colour coordination happening. Still can't believe how fast the time has gone. Your Prince.

DeleteIt's strange - whilst we are all stuck here together, we inevitably all end up gravitating to the same room.
ReplyDeleteI think it's comforting - for everyone x
