At a training and picnic for Toastmasters International, District 80, I was greeted by a lovely lady who was wearing a matching jacket and mask. Both had a pattern of red flowers and green leaves. 

If you looked very carefully, they were not an exact match. If you didn't look too closely, you didn't realize. Even when you noticed the discrepancy, it did not matter. The outfits co-ordinated.

The two items were both bought on the internet from separate suppliers. You can buy tops and other items with matching masks. With the reduction in the requirements for masks, I expect prices to come down. If you work in a place requiring masks, or travel on public transport, you might still be of use.

Matching Masks - Pairs or Multiples

You can buy identical masks to identify staff. Or members of an organization. Or as rewards to staff members of club members.

Couples, mothers and children, or whole families, might like to wear matching masks. It helps if you lose a child or adult in a shopping centre or public place.

Masks have the added advantage of concealing your identity on the rare occasion when you want to do so.

You can match a face mask to a bandana, hat, cloche hat, headscarf. Also a bag for holding a mask, or headwear, or both. A mask can match a dress. Or a wrap and bikini.

Popular patterns are tartan, leopard, American flag.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. t...

Blue H & M Dress, dress of the day 393

Image
  Angela Lansbury wearing a blue background dress from H &M. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Blue H & M Dress Blue background dress has a white pattern. Blues are hard to match. But I had a white blouse, so I wore this. On the internet and on Facebook you can see lots of videos of how to tie a scarf, but mine is simply hanging, which partly obscures the cleavage.  Cleavage cover I had a choice. To insert a dickey or false front, also called a removable or detachable collar. I have one or two which are plain white.  The alternative which saves hunting for a matching dickey without distracting collar colours and embrodiery, is simply to add a fastening. I decided that a snap or press stud fastener in small size is qhich to fasten and unlikely to pull apart (as opposed to hook and eye. I like velcro but it can scratch your skin, so the press stud was the right andwer. You have to get the two sides exactly measured up from the point of the V neck otherwide you end up with...

Period Pants from Marks & Spencer & More, post 345

Period pants from Savida. Pants, UK. In the USA they would be called underpants. They come in two colours, black or dark blue with a mottled effect. They are triple layer. Could be useful for hiking and travelling. Or when you have a cough.  A pack of three full briefs for fifteen pounds. I then googled period pants and found lots of results.  Marks Marks & Spencer do a pack of three containing three different colours, black, white and pink, for sixteen pounds.  They also do different absorbencies. The options range though light, heavy, and extra heavy. And more styles, such as pantaloon style, like short tight shorts coming half way down your thighs. You can also buy leakproof swimwear with the brand name WUKA. Wikipedia has useful worldwide reviews of practices. Wiki picture.
