Scrap Masks

Every day this week I'll be making new cloth masks for me, my guy and my favorite person, but I've added an extra challenge by using only the scrap fabric I have on hand to make them. I use this pattern from JoAnn as my basic template, although I've adjusted the dimensions to fit my guy's nose.

There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
