Yurt Lid

Starting work on the canvas cover for the yurt... My sewing machine wasn't working as well as I was hoping though a local quilt shop totally helped me out. This lady was so cool and walked me through all the steps of troubleshooting the vintage machine. "Oil here and there," "turn this like this," "if the top is messed up, make an adjustment to the bottom." The only snag that left me temporarily out-of-order is the discovery that I am short on fabric. I have to buy more canvas to cover the top of the yurt. One step closer and in a way the sewing is reviving my drive to work with my hands. Sewing is challenging, but feels great when it works out. The canvas will evidently shrink up to 20% so I'll have to try to account for that when sizing the material over the structure. Hummmm... we'll see. Ta Ta For Now.
