As part of my zero-waste commitment I’ve been making reusable fabric masks. Reusable masks are an effective and sustainable alternative to disposable masks. They’re fully machine washable, durable and comfortable as they are made from natural fibres.

Phew, what a year 2015 was! The months seemed to rush by with no sign of slowing down. For me, last year was jam-packed with family, friends, sewing, knitting, cooking, holidays, school, markets and keeping shops stocked. It was a lot of fun, but super busy. When 2016 arrived, I made one "resolution" of sorts, and that… Continue reading A long time coming…
