Orca Bay - 1/4/12

Yesterday I played with Orca Bay some more -
At my current rate - I’ll be playing with Orca Bay for a LONG time - ;))
And LOVING every minute of it -
THANK YOU - BONNIE!!

I was tired of cutting -
So I decided to tackle the little box of QST from Part 1 -
I only had about 100 more to do - ;))

I took a pair -
And pressed them together -
You can see at the bottom left how the white peeks out from under the black -
I TRIED - really I did - but they are not cut to EXACTLY the same size - ;((
And by the time I press them - they get a bit tweaked sometimes -

So - I lined up and pinned my nifty little paper guide to the pair like so -
And used the paper as a guide to trim the “dog ears” on the top corner -

Sewed the pair together - right NEXT to the paper -
Ignoring the mis-match on the bottom right side - ;((
I don't care what size the seam allowance is -
I care what size the QST is -

Pressed it open -
Trimmed the other two “dog ears” -
And - Voila!!
Not ABSOLUTELY PERFECT -
But CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME!! ;))

YAY~!! - this is actually going to work -

Good thing, too -

I only have about 99 more to go - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
