worried

Last week was one of those weeks where there were way too many people in the studio, slowing each other down considerably. I got my fabric all cut (1/2" seam allowance around the pattern for the seat piece), sewed my welt (1-1/2" strip of fabric sewn around jute welt cord results in matching 1/2" seam allowance), and got most of the way sewing the welt onto the first seat piece. But the bobbin kept screwing up. So I'm worried.

I have this Wednesday — 3 hours — to finish these (sew welt to seat, sew box to welt, attach to chairs, finish with braid or whatever — times 2!) and get them home in time for a shoot on Thursday. This doesn't seem even remotely possible.

The suspense is, um, killing me.

Me, too.

Sorry — I'm so crazy swamped with this book that I would have skipped class altogether last week (and later today) were it not for the fact of needing those chairs! We've pushed back the shoot here until late March. The chairs are NOT done — more on that later — and this one's a big styling job for Laura, so we're doing the rest of the locations first. Meanwhile, I think Mr. Teacher might have wrecked one of my seats. Will know for sure when I get back to it this afternoon.
