So, until the piece of paper showed up, I cut diamonds. And templates for diamonds. And basted the fabric onto the templates.
This kind of quiet hand stitching, listening to a good audiobook is such a relief from the mad rush of bad news. Then I'll be whipstitching the diamonds together into stars, for future use in some art thing. It doesn't do to lock yourself into an idea too soon, so this vagueness is fine at this point. Anyway, that's my story.
Some blessed soul has started uploading very well-read Georgette Heyer audiobooks on YouTube, so one of my favorites, the funny The Reluctant Widow, is accompanying my stitching.
Then while I was in YouTube, I found the video with the measurements. 14.5"x8" in case I forget again. And cut out a piece of fabric, a lovely batik cotton that looks like a sky with clouds.
I don't have a scarf suitable for wrapping round my face, knitted and open weave no use, and I seem to be the only person on earth who does not own a bandana.
So a mask will happen, and maybe if I wear it out walking, it will help with whatever's making me sneeze and snort and generally make a lot of noise when I get home. It's the hayfever season.
The principle is simple, and you see the sum total of my notes. If I get this made, I'll do a selfie, and that'll teach you to ask questions, Missy!
