Apparently, the empty toilet paper shelves was just the beginning of our consumer trouble.
The worldwide pandemic has completely disrupted the supply chain for many, many things. Meat processing plants are closed down -- and farmers cannot afford to buy feed for animals that cannot be taken to market. So they are destroying their hogs and cattle....landfills must make room for tons of dead animals.
And all those cute summer kids clothes that we expected to buy at Kohl's, Old Navy or Walmart? Well -- they never got shipped from China. Or, they're sitting on a dock someplace because the Denver warehouse wasn't "essential" so those workers were laid off in March.
Which brings me to my next sewing project.....Frankensewing t-shirts into shorts.
This will be a wonderful change of pace after making all those facemasks -- trust me!!
Kids grow like bad weeds...if things are working as they should, it's actually what they do BEST. Both Lilly and Warren need summer clothes. And nothing can be easier than making shorts out of t-shirts.
Oh, yeah -- this is going to be fun!!
Can hardly wait to read the next chapter....lol
