Check-In Post March 7th 2022

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Well done with getting what must be a rather fiddly part of the process done.

Oh, yes! Creating the letters has the following phases:
1) cut out the letters
2) cut out the bases - two of each
3) glue on the letters to the upper part of the bases, so that they won't move when it comes to the actual sewing
4) glue on pieces of hard Velcro to the lower part of the bases, for the same purpose
5) sew on the letters
6) sew on the Velcro
7) sew together the two parts of the bases
8)rinse and repeat 7 more times, since I have to make 8 of the things altogether

Argh! That sounds a bit of a nightmare.

Well, I'm up to Phase 4 with all 8 letters, so it's not so bad just yet. Sewing on the Velcro *will* be a nightmare, though.

I can imagine. Velcro is not easy to work with.
