So I’m finally coming out of my self-quarantine after returning to Maryland from my daughter’s college in Hyde Park, NY, fifteen days ago. I have been anxiously waiting to break open the box with my new sewing machine, replacing one that has been in disrepair for a few years. With the current needs of our incredible healthcare workers and essential personnel who are keeping us all safe, I am looking forward to contributing my efforts to the great face mask commission of 2020. It’s also a much more productive way for me to put my love of fabrics — okay, true confessions… years of fabric hoarding, let’s call it what it is — to a much more constructive and worthwhile use. Let the pattern cutting begin!
