Finally got around to fixing the sewing machine. But I needed something to test it on. I found a just-big-enough piece of linen to make a bandana.

To hit a price point most bandanas are ~22 inches. That's way too small for my head. Most are polyester. Which means they don't wick away moisture. You want a 27 inch cotton and those cost extra. Like twice as much.

But linen? That's premium. Those start at ~$15 and go up from there. More durable, less environmental impact, better at evaporating than cotton. A linen bandana easily pays for itself if you are the kind of person that needs a bandana.

Now that my machine is working I just need an iron and fabric to start making things happen. Time to go to a thrift store and start looking carefully at fabric that can be repurposed.
