Black, white, or blue, masks can co-ordinate with existing clothing.

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. that would m

What to wear for a funeral? A black funeral coat from Marks & Spencers Outfit 291

Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black.  Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code.  I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
