MAKING A MASK AT HOME
Home-made masks can be created using only a needle,
thread and fabric lying about at home. The below example is
made from fabric left over from a cushion cover. Try and use
cotton (even an old T-shirt will work) as this is easy to
machine-wash and keep clean.
Step 1 Find an old piece of fabric, preferably cotton. Cut
out a rectangle measuring approximately 22cm by 36cm
and lay it flat on a table
Step 2 Create a small fold in the fabric, about 1cm long, that
runs across the short width of the material. Lie it flat, and pin
it in place.
Step 3 Repeat four times, pinning folds flat each time. You
can do more folds if you like. You will end up with a
concertina effect in the fabric (and should end up with at
least double layers of fabric across the middle of the entire
mask).
Step 4 By adding the folds you may have made the mask
the right length to cover your nose and mouth. If you feel
it's still too long, fold any extra fabric at either end
underneath and pin in place.You will secure this fold in
place when you hem the short sides.
Step 5 With a needle and thread (double up the string for
extra strength), hem both short sides with a simple running
stitch to hold the folds you've just madeinplace.
Step 6 Fold both hemmed short sides over again (this is only
a small fold) and stitch that flat. This is to preventfraying,
and will make the sides of the mask extra-strong, as this is
where the ties will be held.
Step 7 Add ties. These can be elastic, ribbon or even
shoelaces.Sew on to the short sides of the mask, and make
sure to leave enough length to be able to either tie the mask
around the back of the head or around the ears, as you prefer.
Helping mothers during covidtimes

In today’s age and generation girls and boys must work with
their mother in daily house chores. It is very important to
know at this time of lockdown it has become really difficult
to do all the housework alone and feed, dust, clean, and
several other works.
I know exactly what does my mother goes through the whole
day. Hence it is my foremost responsibility to help her in the
kitchen. To help my mother in the kitchen I do the very
simple things like, I keep the washed utensils at their desired
place. I make sure that the bottles are filled and kept in the
refrigerator. I make it my sole responsibility to keep the ice
tray in the freezer so that no ice is wasted. It is also necessary
for the mother to take some rest. As in the house generally, it
is the mother who gets up early in the morning. Working up
for the whole day also makes her restless and if in such a case
the family helps in small little work she will be having a
huge thing done. I also make sure that whosoever eats the
used utensils are turned to the basin or sink. I am really
privileged of the things my mother provides to me and in turn
if I can help her to get some rest it would be undoubtedly the
besthelp
