2007-07-31 02:23 pmSo, this morning. The big push. First seam all the way around the roof. But first, a few more details.
Details, such as pinning and machining the twill tape and loops all around the top edge of the walls. So I lied saying the walls were completely finished on Sunday. They are now! Saving the lop-grommet zipper of course.
And I finally got the courage to go all around the roof attaching the walls all the way around except for the door, which will not be stitched to the roof Instead I've got three loops for buttons! On the roof edge where the door is, and on the next roof panel for folding the door back completely out of the way. I am so sharp I cut myself. (Yes, this is me gloating about it before it's even finished and tested and worst case scenario I will be eating my words later on.)
The buttons, my father, being a handy man, made for me out of moose-bone. I'll be putting three on the top of the door and two at either corner of the window blind.
I'm out of time for today, as I start working at 3pm and don't get off until eight. Tomorrow, however, I work a short day from seven till one pm and if things continue in the way they have been I'll be putting on the buttons and cutting off all the loose hanging threads and calling my little pavilion finished. If it also stops raining I can put it up, adjust the spokes and douse it with waterproofing.
So, basically: omgomgomgSQUEE!omgI'vealmostgotatentomgSQUEE!
