Domestic Nemesis

Unlike people who make a million masks, I've made about 10. Since March.  I watch videos and try different patterns, blah blah. Mostly I just stare at the sewing machine.  Here are 3 different masks I successfully made.  (The one on the bottom left is my own design!! I mean sort of, I used the regular square pattern but put specialized darts to fit my face, instead of three folds on each side!)    So today I was trying a new pattern- and this is so boring- I was going to make the t-shirt straps because I haven't tried that yet.

I didn't take a picture, but if you look at the recipe, you'll see a really nice picture. Luckily it turned out delicious, but what a pain in the ass!  The cool thing about it was that it used so many things from our garden! Here is a list of vegetables I used from the garden: mint, parsley, basil, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic! Anyway, I knew my darling would like t...

I made this little gem a couple days ago.  Possibly my first video post? This may be the way to go because it's way faster than editing a written post!! :) Note : By "seam," I meant "hem." I was in a state. Sincerely, Ms. Non-Sequitur
