Jul. 30th, 2005 12:54 amOne more seam done.
That sounds so pathetic, particularly when I watch Aurora just soldier through a project and get five million times the amount of stuff done. But I've never denied she's got my ass kicked eleventy-million times over; hell, why else do I go to her for so much help?
But this seam was a Very Big Pain in My Butt, and I was being very super careful about making sure I had the pieces lined up the right way before so much as pinning things into place. Flat-felling this was a treat, because it's the seam between one long side panel on the one edge, and on the other edge, the short top panel for the front and then the door. They overlap by about four inches, so I had to trim and fold pretty carefully to even be able to (a) fold it over and (b) sew through the bulk of about eight layers of canvas.
So, one more seam done, and then Aurora made fabulous dinner (enchiladas, YOM) and then I went and watched movies at a friend's house. I just dragged my sleepy ass home to find ... not only is someone parked in my spot, but it's a full-size pickup truck, with the bed of the truck packed with bales of hay that are stacked about a foot higher than the cab. If I wasn't so sleepy, I'd go back downstairs and take a picture, because it just looks so ... odd.
Tomorrow, I'll work on my garb for MidEast Feast, and then Sunday, it's back to work on the pavilion. Here's to getting better sleep this weekend!
