Has No Life - Lives on TB
I've been catching up on housework. Then I went out to cut the pieces, including binding, for two more nightshirts.
Son was given a choice today between the nightshirt and one of his tubes. He picked the nightshirt. I'm going to test it a few more times but if he prefers the nightshirts then I'll make him a variety to wear at home. And it gives me some ideas for in public clothing that won't become part of the sensory overload.
I am going to see about doing flat enclosed seams for him. I think that might help on the heavier fabrics. I know on his tubes, he would turn them seams out.
But I toasted my back. So the balance of today is likely going to be finishing the bag that's on the loom and making the binding tape for the nightshirts. I can do that while seated in a comfortable chair with a heat pack.
Moldy, one thing I do differently than I've seen in the videos is that I leave a long tail that I start weaving through after I get the first couple of layers done. And I start pulling it together to the center. Once I have the center nice and tight, I knot it and trim the tail. That lets me put a small bottle of water and the yarn in the center while I continue. The water provided a nice tension and that keeps the cats from trying to grab the yarn.
