When I read the post on Meredithe’s blog for the March round up<\/a> of the “6 and 6 in 2018” project, I thought maybe I should do my own. More especially, as I do indeed have progress to report!<\/p>\n

\"Backpack<\/a>

Backpack OnTour<\/p><\/div>\n

One definite advance this year is that the Amarna backpack is finished. After the straps were attached, it had a very brief trial outing. After which, I decided it needed a lining (a lovely sandy coloured printed cotton) and a zip. The zip was something of a struggle to install, but I managed in the end, and the backpack had its first real outing when I took it with me to “Sewing for Pleasure” in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

\"Glueing<\/a>

Glueing In Progress<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve started to make progress on Eve in the Garden of Eden as well. Regular readers know that I’m very uncomfortable with using glue near fabric – or indeed, at all! However, my friends Small Rachel and Harry The Hound of the Doleful Countenance came to supervise and encourage, and remind me to take it slow and steady.<\/p>\n

\"Components<\/a>

Components Piling Up<\/p><\/div>\n

And the reminders paid off. The glueing is done, and the next phase involves quite a lot of sewing. The box sides are made of an outer and an inner, and while each of those is glued on the back, in the case of the lining over some padding, the outer and the inner are sewn together.<\/p>\n

Again, this is happening bit by bit. It’s concentrated and fiddly work, and I couldn’t yet sit down and expect to finish it in a sitting.<\/p>\n

But the glueing is done!<\/p>\n

As for new projects, so far there is the cover for Maggie the Magnifier, a Learning Opportunity, and of course the Embroiderers Guild 100 Hearts piece.<\/p>\n

So watch this space, there will be more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
