Yay a long weekend

Comment Published at 22:4122:4110 comments10 comments20 Visits20 VisitsReport

I am sitting on my computer (obviously) instead of doing what I should be doing. Which is making tablecloths for the tables at day care. I said I would do it. How silly am I??

They want 3 tablecloths per day per table. That is 60 tablecloths.

Each classroom has a different colour scheme: Purple, pink, red, orange, blue. Each of those has 3 different shades of colour. One for each meal time (MT Lunch AT).

My wish is that they were all the same shape. No. That would be too easy. There are 24 rectangular tables and 12  shaped. The rectangular ones will be easy, but the others have a lot more work to them.

Oh well, better go and do some cutting out.

Later.

I know who to come with for sewing lessons then! lol.  Good luck with it all.  By the way, do the funny shaped ones have to be funny shaped?  Could you just make them a slightly bigger rectangle than the smallest side?  Might save some work for you.

Have a fun weekend.

I hate sewing with a passion. Good luck with them. I'm sure you'll have 'em done in no time.

I love sewing, just haven't had time to sit down and do any. Used to make all the kids clothes and sheets and blankets etc. Even taught the older 2 to sew and they used to make their own tshirts. Now they don't tho. But they do know how to mend things if needed.

Originally the upper echelons wanted kids prints etc, but I talked them into plain colours. They look really good too.

I don't really mind, it is just the getting started that's a bit of a problem. But I got all the lengths cut this afternoon. Tomorrow I will cut down the rectangular widths.
