DAY 53

I stumbled on a new method for making face masks out of old t-shirts, The video I found on Pinterest taught how to make a mask without any sewing. https://youmakeitsimple.com/2020/04/diy-no-sew-face-mask-upcycled-tshirt-5-minutes/ It takes about five minutes. I used my serger to sew the middle together so that it would be secure, but otherwise I did no sewing whatsoever. These masks are super comfy and easy for anybody who has an old t-shirt and a pair of scissors. I made twelve of them in about an hour out of three t-shirts.

Miss Nine was gone with her dad for the day so I had some time to myself. I started off the day with a whole list of things that I wanted to do, but the day was gone before I got half of those things checked off my list. I made masks, did some banking and some grocery shopping. It is still unsettling to me to see how much empty shelf space there is in the stores. Still not a roll of toilet paper to be had in Meijer. How much t.p. can people possible hoard? Quite a lot, evidently. In spite of the order by the governor to wear masks in public there were plenty of people without them. I heard that Costco is not letting anyone in the door without one. I also heard that a security guard at a Family Dollar in Flint was shot because he insisted that a customer wear a face mask in the store. What kind of fresh hell are we living in? Oh, yeah, the same old hell with new levels to strive for.
