I have been trying not to think about work at the moment. You may not know, but I am working for a large supermarket chain that very recently decided to revamp their management structure. So I may be losing my job, but lets not think about that! Coincidentally I have been listening to more audio books and sewing in all of my spare time \ud83d\ude42 I got my blankie half way finished!<\/p>\n

It took forever to sew all the squares together, then all the rows. All of that aligning so they would be just right… Oh my, I don’t miss that part. I needed to sew down the back edges as I can’t abide the thought about putting backing on and somewhere in the middle the safety edge twists and then when you sit on it, it is all you feel!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I found some synthetic cloth that is used as a waterproof inside lining for jackets, raincoats etc. So I bought 3 meters of it. It doesn’t look very bad and actually I think it will be okay as backing for my blanket, so that when you sit down you don’t have a wet bum \ud83d\ude00 Well at least not immediately. It does fray like crazy tho’!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I pinned the backing, but the pins would catch in the lining and pull the threads as I was trying to sew it all together. It took me 2 days but I basted all the seams! Once it was finished I didn’t need to worry about accidentally stepping or sitting on the pins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is how far I have gotten! wish me luck with the – sewing it all together part \ud83d\ude00 See you all soon!<\/p>\n
