Curiously Intertwined

Tuesday, March 14, 2023

Another day, another trip to the donation center.

I found this piece of fabric a couple days ago at an antique store.

It's that heavy fabric with the weird texture that was once widely used for curtains.

I think it may work nicely for a small everyday backpack.

Good morning.

I hope you have a beautiful Sunday.

( not a black and white photo. see slide.)

The tile in the bathroom at the Old House has been covered for so long,

it's going to take a few rounds of cleaning.

This is after the first round which is already a huge improvement.

For scale, the yellow squares measure about one and a half inches.

I sewed some today.

All the things I put together had to be taken back apart.

I also cut the next piece as indicated by the pattern

and then realized I had cut the wrong piece.

I have no more of the canvas or lining fabrics.

Now I will have to come up with a solution to fix my error.

After my "unsewing" I thought I'd read a little in the book I can't seem to finish.

Unfortunately, my library doesn't have this one in audiobook format

and tonight I am really struggling to keep my eyes open and my brain engaged.

Great Grandpa H liked to sew. This was his machine.

While I'd love to keep it, I don't have room for another machine.

I'd love to see it go to someone who needs it

or an organization that could use it.

Suggestions welcome.

Feel free to comment or email me directly so I can reply to you.

It's almost springtime.
