I found this bag I wanted to make - first I have too little fabric, then I go get some fabric. And everything should be well right? Yeah you would think so - at least I did ...
But when I unfold the bundle of fabric I got - so I could prepare it for cutting ... And the damn thing is almost U-shaped, from when they ripped it off the role at the store. I tried for like an hour to yank it and stretch it and pull it ... to get it proper ... But NO ...
Even desperate enough to call my mum for help. According to her pulling and stretching it should help ... after about the 3rd phone call she agreed to come by in the morning to assist me ... So lets hope she can help ... or I will have to go down to the store again to see what they have for solution ...
Sometimes getting a new hobby you feel so useless cause you don't have a clue what the tricks and fixes are ...
Here is a piccy - with the edges on the fabric lined next to each other - and this being the middle ...
And part 2 of my whining ... I stopped by the library today ... they had 4 books about quilting ... 3 of then only showing pics of finished things - but not explaining how you did it ... and the 4th book was something that was most likely older than me ... Not really impressed. Someone need to assign some money to upkeep the libraries - cause they are only having crap. OK I stop ranting ...
But at least I got a table and a chair sorted for my sewing machine - so just get my fabric fixed and I should be good to go =)
