Now I remember...
Nov. 27th, 2006 05:37 amWhy I wasn't going to do any tent work til after Festival 07:
1. The sewing machine and I have tensioning issues. It took unpicking of at least 1 seam to remember the need to hand back stitch.
2. I hate pinning (or stapling) and sewing canvas. We wont think how much canvas we have now.
3. I hate machine sewing in hot weather (currently 34.6 degrees out) - no ones temper is improved by it and it is annoying retrieving the thread when you have thrown it accross the room.
But the cover for the mattress is done and after much shuffling, swearing and more tearing than I would like, is on. Looks good, but I ain't doing that again in a hurry.
I will probably leave the sewing machine set up on the kitchen table, but I'm going back to hand sewing for a while...
