I recently received the outline for a book I am to write for a client. As a result, I had to readjust my sewing schedule. I also had to take time to rearrange my furniture because I will soon be putting up video tutorials. I often fail to take into account just how much time things take to organize.
I have been working on decorating my apartment using nothing but recycled materials. The kitchen is done and I just recently finished the shower curtain for the bathroom.
To make this I simply took one large sheet and divided it into six even panels of 18". I then grabbed some strips of fabric, as well as some 6 1/2 " squares and created the curtain. The most painful part of this project, by far, was doing the math. I detest math and I was lucky to pass it all through school. I now think if my teachers would have simply worded the story problems so they related to sewing and design, I would probably have aced the subject. It's strange how we become convinced we're incapable of doing something for most of our lives, then something comes along to show us we were wrong all that time.
And here is the finished project as best I could photograph it within the confines of my bathroom. Hopefully, I will have the tank and seat covers done soon. I am also half way through a massive toothbrush rug to put on the floor.
All I can say is, if the world really does come to an end Saturday I will be leaving behind one massive "to-do" list.
Somehow, I don't think I have much to worry about. :)
