I was naughty and didn’t work on my Tuffet at all last weekend. The class is Thursday, so I got to it a little during the week and then seriously on Sunday.<\/p>\n

I came home from class with some work done, but not enough. I finished 2 panels and sewed 2 strips (one seam) on the 6 other panels. Respectable work, but not a finished top. I still had work to do.<\/p>\n

Making the Tuffet uses foundation piecing, so all I needed to do was place more strips on the foundations and sew.\u00a0 For some stupid reason I was reluctant.<\/p>\n

This is new to me. I didn’t want want to ruin it. I wasn’t 100% sure of my fabric choices. Blah Blah Blah. Fear.<\/p>\n

I decided to just take one step at a time. So, last Thursday or so, I laid out the foundations in the photo above and looked at them for a few minutes. I got my stash of project strips and laid them out. I moved them around and then I sewed one strip on. Nobody died.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I did the same with the last strip on each foundation. Because I am using 3″ strips, I didn’t need as many as those using 2.5″ strips. That made the process go a little faster for me.<\/p>\n

\"Panels<\/a>

I also trimmed all the excess fabric and stay stitched the edges. This means that the panels were ready to sew into a 3D bubble.<\/p>\n

So, I am making progress. I will, for sure, be ready by Wednesday night. There is no choice about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
