The translation is gibberish, what can I do?

This automatic translation is generated by Google Translator (an artificial intelligence), which often causes gibberish. We apologize for that!

DIY Kitty rice heating pad (free sewing pattern)
We are all into craft projects that make us feel cozy and relaxed!  If you haven’t seen or made one rice heating pad before, it’s basically a pouch filled with uncooked rice (and usually something that smells good too), and you can stick them in the microwave for a moist heating pad that lasts a good while. If you are going to make something, why make it regular when it can be a kitty? Much cuter to have around the house and just makes us  smile to look at too.

DIY Fabric surgical face mask (with filter pocket) - sewing tutorial
If you haven't got face masks at hand, but you need one, you can use Maker's Habitat KL's free face mask sewing pattern to create a mask quickly. While wearing a homemade face mask will not prevent someone from catching viruses, it can decrease the spread of large particles when someone sneezes. It can be used in cases of the flu, cold and other airborne illnesses. Just a reminder that these masks should only be worn if you are sick or caring for someone who is sick. All face masks should be washed and sterilized before use and cleaned again after becoming damp or moist.

The key to stopping the fogging up, they say, is making sure you have a snug fit!
