No more stripes!

I don’t think I could bear to look at anymore stripes for at least a week, or maybe to be on the safe side, two weeks

These stripes are the reason why I’ve not written much over the last two weeks.  I got a contract to upholster poles for a children’s clothes shop. I know it sounds weird but I think once finished and hanging it will be super cute.  It will make everything look softer and friendlier.  The complicated thing was the variety of shapes and sizes.  There were the simple poles on which you hang hangers, but there were also some different ones.  How can I explain; these will hang perpendicularly off the straight ones. Here’s a picture:

The thing is that they must also be removeable, as the whole idea behind these poles is the possiblity of changeing the shop or display around easily when there’s new merchandise.  I guess if there had been only a few poles it wouldn’t have affected me so much…  But this is a shop, so there were about 30 of each type to be upholstered.  Ahhhhhh, that’s why I went slightly loopy from all the stripes.  So for the last 10 days or so, even over the weekend and the great 30 degree weather, I’ve been sewing cute little puffy condom looking covers for all these poles.

At one point they were everywhere; on both working tables, in boxs, on the ironing board even on my chair! But it’s a great feeling to know that they are all done!  I wanted to them before I went home, I’m going to see my family for two weeks in Canada.  So I wanted to finish these before going.  As when I return I want to work on my website.  Anyway, in the first week of August I shall go and install all of these in the shop and on the 8th is the grand opening.  I shall take pictures on both occasions and post them on here so you can see what it looked like in the end.
