My Kind of Tutorial

Making face masks seems to be all the rage right now, if not necessary.

Here is the best YouTube Tutorial.  Make sure you watch to the end too!


Some days this is me too.......
I texted this to Kim's Sissie because it reminded me of her.  She hasn't responded so I don't know if I offended her or what.
But it's funny as hell.

  2. That was me except I was working with a "toy" sewing machine with no reverse.....the first two I made for hubby and I took 3 hours. They look a bit like diapers. Mom asked for one as she is thinking of going to a greenhouse with me so I made her one and hers looks great. Now hubby wants a new one (he's not been wearing it anyway) that doesn't look like a diaper. Bloody hell

  5. My Grandmother sewed. My Mother sewed. My best friend sewed. My sister sews. I can not sew! I am just like the gal in the video. I get so frustrated that I could literally throw the machine out the door. Thank goodness for all of you who can sew. Penny S.

  6. My mother in law made us a mask but the elastic pieces are way too small. They bend my ears forward. Maybe she was drinking wine while measuring?

    We didn’t say anything since we pretty much go nowhere.

  7. I am laughing my A$$ off and I know Kay is not offended. You really can't offend us.

  8. I trusted you that this was funny, so I enlarged it and Tommy and I both watched it. That was hilarious! I laughed from the first time she cut herself. I must say, I have been sewing since I was four and on a machine since I was ten, and in the intervening years, I have never had so much trouble. That was hilarious!

  9. As the younger generation would say - you and Kay are a "hot mess".

  10. I laughed out loud. I can only hand sew and for some reason, my thread gets all twirled up, no matter how careful I am. I would be a terrible quilter. lol People are making money hand over fist making these masks right now. Elastic is impossible to find but people are improvising with hair ties and they are breaking open bungee cords for the elastic inside them. Someone in our neighborhood is making them, packaging them in little ziploc bags and putting them in a basket on her porch along with a donation jar. She's asking $10 each. Great way to make some extra cash.

  11. Although I'm president of our sewing club it's only because they needed a dogsbody to do the paperwork. I actually don't sew - don't enjoy it at all (I discovered around the age of 53) but I enjoy patchwork. I'm still not particularly good but what can I say. First thing I noticed was she was talking about making 2 squares, 9 inches by 6 inches, and I'm thinking "she sounds like me doing my patchwork because that ain't a square". But if it was seriously put together, which I think it was because she might have hurt herself sewing her shirt into it, it was an absolute hoot and I love her!

  12. In my community in the Midwest most people are sewing and donating masks, thousands. Slowly making them also, my sewing skills are rusty.
