I've been meaning to make hankies out of a bunch of flannel receiving blankets (ones we're no longer using an d freecycled ones) since I bought the second-hand sewing machine. Which was back in ummm... 2007. Better late than never, I say!
We ran out of tissues and my husband and I both had wicked colds and frankly the prospect of leaving the house in the extreme cold seemed like a worse prospect than cutting and sewing up a couple dozen hankies, so I did it. Then 3 more dozen the next day. So we're good for a while but I'll have to make more in time for my allergy season, which thankfully isn't for 6 months or so... I figure if we can get through 2 colds at once with them, we should be good for a little while.
Happy blowing, and stay healthy.
