2020 costume : Facemasks (and scrub caps). Since I do a lot of quilting, I have been going through my fabric stash to be used for face masks. My niece is an ER Doctor, so scrub caps became something to sew for that group. Still sewing and sewing…….
I see the Medieval Times Costume Dept is sewing beautiful fabrics into masks and donating them. Have you seen the “Just For Fun” all over pearl beaded mask? Bet you can’t breathe in that, but it is beautiful, nonetheless. Susan NJ- where it looks like our draconian tactics have quelled C19. We, with NY, were the hardest hit at first. Our governors took a lot of flak for how they handled it, but many modifications were done by the public and business. We are finally outside and enjoying our state parks, beaches and outdoor dining. Our local family owned/run restaurant has this on their website: <Come on out for Outside Dining. Support a business that is doing it the Correct way, Safe and by the current rules!!! Not doing whatever they want with no consequences. Our family would like to keep you all safe.
