I finished 35 masks to send to a hospital in Denver. They have a pocket for filters and a channel for a nose piece as well as long ties. Lots of work but hopefully helpful. Pattern and organization by @operationwecansewit — Colorado sewists needed! They’ll go in the mail tomorrow. Now to make some less-intense ones for my family. #coloradosews #makingmasks #quarantinesewing #sewingmasks #coloradoquilters #operationwecansewit

I needed something I could do today that I could start and finish so I dig though some scraps and made this little mug rug I’ll include with my mini quilt for my #maythe4thmqs4 partner. It was pretty improvised and I even found a use for one of the million selvages I’ve hung into! Hopefully this is what my brain needs to jump start some creativity. I’m probably not alone in feeling blah. I have a million books I want to read and lots of sewing I want and need to do and I’m like a droid with a bad motivator. My goals this weekend are to finish some masks to send to hospitals in Denver, finish some swap blocks and do a pattern test of a shirt pattern for me. If I get to something else, great. If not, I’m doing my best. How’s everyone else’s everything going? #improvquilting #mugrug #quiltedmugrug #swapextras #sewingslump

Another home project done. We made our basement home to the boys’ playroom which is a mix of toys and video games, but I added some vintage gamer decor. The window has a wood well cover over it so zero light gets in anyway but the curtains are definitely adorable. I’ve had the Pac-Man ghost fabric forever and I don’t even remember where I got it but it was too short so I appliquéd Pac-Man on a band to lengthen it. I got the Mario decals at Target and the PAC-man ones on Amazon. I still have a few more ideas but will wait until I can get supplies. #quarantinecrafting #quarantinesewing #vintagegameroom #vintagevideogames

Late to the party but I did spend all of today working on masks. I saw a request for specific masks for a hospital in Denver so I went through and cut and folded and pressed about 50. Straps to be added tomorrow. #quarantinecrafts #quarantinesewing

Afternoon sewing class with these guys. Everyone picked their own fabric and did the pinning (wonder-clipping?) and sewing. Now their basement slumber party tonight will be extra fancy with custom pillowcases. #sewingwithboys #quarantinecrafting #quarantinesewing #homeeconomicsathome

Now that we’re a week into this new isolated lifestyle (at least in the US.) I’ve been thinking about the swap extras for #maythe4thmqs . I’ve always included small extra items in the swap requirements because I wanted the package to seem like a care package. But I know it’s hard to find small extra items if you’re stuck at home for the greater good of society. Some places are still shipping and that’s great but I’m inclined to save those for essentials. At this time I’m changing the requirement to include 3 small extra thematic items in this swap. So please still plan to ship your mini quilt on time but if you don’t have anything extra it’s OK. If you’d like to, you’re still welcome to send extra things. And if you’re looking for inspiration you can always browse through #swapextras and see what cute little handmade things have been included in swaps, many of which can be made with what you have at home. This way you don’t need to go out into society unnecessarily so get something extra if you don’t already have it. I don’t think it’s common to include homemade food items in general but let’s just say if you do include food it needs to be factory sealed. If you need any sewing supplies or assistance please reach out we are all happy to help. Stay healthy!
