A little sewing today -

 

 

But not much - 

 

I watched a whole lot of videos - 

 

And found one about using a "Frame Weight" - HERE - 

It sounded like a good idea - 

And something worth trying - 

When I get my new machine and frame - 

So I decided to make one - 

I found a piece of WHITE batik that I will probably never use - 

And got this - 

 

 

I didn't have a large mouth funnel - 

 

But a folded paper plate did the same job - LOL - 

 

One thing that I did differently than the video - 

 

Is that I used a couple of pins to "corral" the rice - 

 

It worked well for the first folded over seam - 

 

But it was a little tight on the next one - 

 

It's not my best work - 

 

But it will keep the rice from coming out - LOL - 

 

Tomorrow I want to tackle this pile of batting scraps - 

 

 

And sew together some of the same size - 

 

To make larger batting pieces for some practice panels - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
