Anyway, today's been a news on day. And as a result, I've been spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos on how to make a mask—excuse me, face covering—at home without having to actually sew one.
Not that I couldn't. A couple years ago I took a sewing class with my friend Cassie, and while I never completed the apron we were making, I did learn enough to stitch up the sides of a mask. It's just that I don't want to, because I'm all about easy. I'd much prefer to have someone make one for me.
So that's the origin story of this reworked version of Matchmaker from Fiddler On The Roof.
In case you're not familiar with the song, here's the video. And once you can't get it out of your head, you'll be ready to sing the new lyrics to it below.
Meanwhile, I'll be looking to repurpose my Elvis bandana into a rockin' mask.
Maskmaker maskmaker make me a mask
Find one for me, that is your task
Maskmaker maskmaker start sewing for me
And make me the perfect mask
Maskmaker maskmaker I’ll bring the cloth
You do your work, I’ll drink some broth
Make me a mask for I’m longing to be
The envy of all I see
For papa, make it safe and effective
For mama, make it pretty and tight
For me well, I wouldn’t holler
In fact I would wear it all day and night
Maskmaker maskmaker make me a mask
Find one for me, that is your task
Day after day I don’t go out alone
So make me a mask all my own
