Health Care Workers, use this cap to: Cushion your head and ears from the multiple insults of masks, face shields, and/or googles layered on top of each other. Tuck your unwashed, freshly washed, or uncooperative hair away.
The cap is fully lined and can be hand or machine sewn. You need less than a half yard of fabric, two buttons (I used 5/8 in. buttons) and matching thread. I used a quarter inch seam allowance since all the edges are enclosed.
Is the New Year a new start for you?
It generally hasn’t been for me. I much prefer the new book smell of fall for my fresh starts. New Year’s felt forced. I often worked that night and had to ask my patients the date every hour all night long. It confused all of us and constantly reminded us of the passage of time, blurring the effect of waking up to a fresh beginning in the new year.
This year was a bit different, right? A bit of a dumpster fire, by some estimates. Way out of bounds for what most of us expected.
The end of 2020 felt like the perfect time to embrace all that New Year’s had to offer.
I love the color palette of Demelza’s clothes on the first couple of seasons of Poldark. I appreciate the show as a rare one that shows a long term relationship more or less thriving through ups and downs.
This will likely be the first of a series of posts (with a long break between each one, because sewing historical costumes takes FOREVER.) where I share my progress making a Demelza-inspired costume. I’m taking inspiration from the color palette of Demelza’s costumes from the show to make a costume or some mix and match pieces that will be as historically accurate and similar to the show as my time and knowledge allow.
