When I was a kid growing up, one of the memories I have is of my mom at a sewing machine making clothes. She’d often go to stores, like K-Mart, and buy material and plans to make clothes, mostly for my three sisters. (I don’t recall of she ever made anything for me, it was easier I guess for her to make dresses). Obviously, with her getting older and with no kids around, she hasn’t had any reason to make anything on the sewing machine for years. I guess these masks, for me and herself, will give her an excuse to open up the sewing machine.

Actually, as I was writing this, I DO remember her making something on the sewing machine for me, not too long ago. Back here, in July of 2018, not too long after I moved into my current house, she made these Marvel Comics themed curtains for my family room.
