The name, Natalma, was on my mind so I looked it up. “Natalma was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse best known as the dam of the most important sire, and sire of sires, of the late 20th Century, Northern Dancer. She also established a highly influential female family, which has produced other leading sires Machiavellian and Danehill, plus numerous other stakes winners.” from Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I should have known it was a horse. Sara loves horses!<\/p>\n

I spent another day last week working on the Natalma. I tried to be very Zen about the process, going through each step and not skipping or putting off steps, like interfacing pieces.<\/p>\n

It pays off to do all the prep<\/a>, because I don’t have to stop to interface or whatever. It is all done. I should learn that this is the best way to work, but my desire to get to the sewing will probably always override that practice. Oh well.<\/p>\n

I like making patterns the first time, because I can take notes on what I would change the second time. That pink pocket shown above will be made with vinyl next time. Then I will be able to see what is inside. <\/p>\n

There were some larger pieces done at the beginning, but now I am working on some fiddly bits.<\/p>\n

I also have to figure out some riveting.<\/p>\n
