SKIRTS FROM SHIRTS

My kitchen window faces West and I’ve fought the setting sun for a couple of years and finally took out the two panels, that weren’t enough, and the two valances, combined them and successfully covered the window. I shortened them, and used the tops for new loops which move from side to side better […]

Here is a very simple, no sew, no staple, no taping, highly effective face mask. They show a fabric filter that I don’t know where it comes from*, fold into a rectangle of fabric (large hankie or scarf) add two pony tail rubbers or circles of elastic, fold some more and wear. I see […]
