Epic sewing fail project completed.

[azdesertrose]

I finally went back to the sewing machine and finished the damn chair cushion for Bill. So now he can sit comfortably in his recliner and it doesn't look trashy because there's this big foam rubber pad in the way.

I wasn't sure it was going to turn out right, but it did except the cover is a little larger than the foam rubber pad, but if it were much smaller, I wouldn't have been able to get the cover on the pad.

I have some garb I should finish sewing, but it's not time critical as I'm not going to have the dosh to make any SCA events any time soon, so I'm not too concerned about it. I just need to add some buttonholes but I don't know where the buttonhole foot is, and I'm tired of sewing right now.

Time to chill for the night.

I must get out my machine. Mrs L has a business plan involving me. I need to make her a bespoke bath mat for outside the shower, which means buying a circular one then chopping and hemming it.

I discovered a circular needle in my mother's knitting box, so I am experimenting with a dalek knitted in the round but I should print off a pattern next time I am at Ladysmith.

I like that I know how to sew and I like the finished products most of the time, even the slightly-too-large decahedral chair cushion I just finished, but I tend to find the process of sewing a bit annoying.

Cross stitching is much more peaceful to me, and I probably ought to relearn to knit and crochet.
