I've sewn my way through lockdown. Sewing has become a simple, slow and meditative activity for me. Stitching only by hand from uncomplicated patterns I've drawn with felt-tip pens on sugar paper, I've made cloth cats and dolls. Some sewn pieces have been gifted and some sold. While my sewing has slowed down as lockdown restrictions ease, I'm still compelled to sew and unfussy stitching remains something that I do.

Is anyone still feeling patriotic? Is patriotic a bad word now and only reserved for the ultra right? Will there be celebrations on 4th of July, Independence Day? As troubling as the current times are, I still love and miss my homeland. These are my tribute to the USA 🇺🇲 Mr & Mrs USA fun and stylish facemasks. £12 each plus p&p. £20 for a pair. All of my masks can be made to order in 5 sizes. Plenty of other fabrics from previous posts are also still available.
