Jezebel: I'd be willing to make you a mask this weekend, if you like. I'm guillotine class and it's the least I could do to support somebody working at a hospital. The ones I've been making are from the craft passion pattern, with the pocket for any extra filtering layer you want to put in and a pocket for a nose wire to keep it up against your face, and casings along the side for elastic or ties. Trying to attach a photo to this post to show you what it looks like.

Another thing a seam ripper is good at: getting hair wrapped around vacuum brushes off.

I’ve found thimbles useful for trying to punch a needle through something difficult but honestly I think it’ll go through a few layers of tshirt like butter and a thimble would be more annoyance than anything else.

Another great beginner project is tote bags! Straight line practice galore and even a crookedly seen one works.

I am repairing my daughter's 33-year-old Teddy. He needs a lot of work. He was originally stuffed with wads of cotton. I want to restuff him with something that has the same sturdy, weighty feel. He should give when hugged, but you shouldn't be able to flatten his body between your hands.

Does anybody have suggestions for a stuffing? I worry that polyfill will be too light. The little plastic beads you use to stuff pincushions and such would be way, way overkill.

Shredded memory foam maybe?

Those have a very cheerful chaos vibe.
