Today I'm having a very slow #mecfs day and doing #sewing in tiny bursts. It took at least 3 trips to the sewing table to get my square for a cushion cover cut out. But next time I'll be able to sit down (I can't cut while sitting) and do all the sewing, and then it will be done.
Then I'll put the walking foot back on the machine. It can't handle the zipper foot so I removed it just for this project. Usually it's easier (for both quilting and sewing with stretchy fabrics) just to leave it on.
Today I pinned a layer of the hassock for quilting later but I didn't sew anything. I'm still too tired.
Here are two photos of the quilted pads I've already made, originally posted to Twitter ages ago.
Today I pinned two more pads to quilt for the hassock. These are mostly stuffed with scraps of old socks, after the ankle parts are cut off -- one of the children uses them as wrist cuffs, after the feet get holey enough for the socks to go in the scrap bag.
I also found the nice cotton batting which I'm going to use for the outermost layer of padding, under the final cushion cover. But then I had a huge #mecfs crash so I'm not doing any more #sewing today.
