In my Victorian child era. I fear they may have to euthanize me for this one.
Interesting Fact #1
Novels were forbidden in the Spanish colonies by the Inquisition. The literary genre of novels was seen as dangerous. Reading a novel could warrant one jail time and humiliation. Novels weren't published until after independence at the beginning if the 19th century. This ban on fiction was part of the inquisitions goal to rid the "fictional disease" that plagued them.
Information from Latin America: Fiction and Reality by Mario Vargas Llosa.
If you any more information related to the fact, or you have corrections, Please share! I would love to hear!

So apparently in my part of Texas there will be a full lockdown where you can only go out if certified for work or getting groceries. It's official, Plague Inc has become reality. Thanks Corona! 😑

There was the Italian plague of 1629 to 1631, which isn’t really 1620, but it’s rather close. This is also called the Great Plague of Milan, and it killed over a hundred thousand people.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1629%E2%80%931631_Italian_plague https://www.historychannel.com.au/articles/16000-venetians-die-of-plague-this-month/
There was the Great Plague of Marseille in 1720 to 1722. It was the last significant European outbreak of the bubonic plague. Over a hundred thousand people died here as well.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plague_of_Marseille
From 1817 to 1824, there was the first Asiatic cholera pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of people died.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1817%E2%80%931824_cholera_pandemic
I can’t find any consensus on what these people are talking about for the 1920s outbreak. It could be the Spanish Influenza, which went from 1918 to 1920 and killed between 20 million and 50 million people.  https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/1918-flu-pandemic There also was the 1924 Los Angeles pneumonic plague outbreak which killed 30 people.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Los_Angeles_pneumonic_plague_outbreak Â
https://philnews.ph/2020/01/23/1720-plague-1820-cholera-outbreak-1920-bubonic-plague-whats-next/ something that talks about this as a whole. Â
And yes, I know that Wikipedia isn’t a great source, but I don’t want to go into much more depth with this.
a pin up version of my plague doctor :3
I'mma just post some random snippets of text about the plague because it's my favorite topic to make a PowerPoint to and I am not at all unhealthily fixated on it. In fact it is very normal to have a favorite illness, shut up!
Literally everything right now.
Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!
Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.
I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.
Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.
