christmas present #2

okay so i finished this one after it sat in my room for a month or so. I finished the inside which requires NO velcro, then when I was ready to finish the outside cover I could NOT find a 30 inch, white, hook and loop tape anywhere. There was black and beige (ugly and didn't match), but not white.

So finally I went to fabric mart in Kaneohe and they still didn't have any, they did however have boxes on the floor. The guy said it was probably in there but that they weren't opening the boxes right now, that irritated me slightly. But I was determined to get some somehow. I told them I needed velcro and that I couldn't come back cause I drove a half hour for velcro only. So finally they pulled together a couple of scraps and got me some. The hook side is one inch think and the loop side is 3/4 inch thick, but at that point I could have cared less. I just wanted some velcro, so I could finish this baby!

I got my velcro and I finished it. I just used fabric I had from Kaiya's curtains. I wanted to alternate the fabrics from panel to panel, but I only had enough of one fabric. But I still like the way it turned out, i just used the other stripey fabric for the circles of fabric at the top.

Here is the tutorial I used. I personally had a hard time following her directions. I don't know if it was cause I kept doing it late at night, or what, But i feel like she left out a lot of little details that are very helpful and prevent unpicking. It's fun though and free, so i can't complain too much. And it'll be easy to figure out with a little help from your main squeeze (it was easy for him).

I like it cause it matches her room, and I think Kaiya will like to lounge around on it too!
