First and foremost, this video.
Because that is the most classic sewing material ever. EVER.
Moving on.
This is where my sewing machine lived. Appa and Quinzel the caribou kept me company.
I had my paper patterns that I had drawn the right size and then photocopied, so I pinned those down to my fabric and went to town. I sewed the buildings onto the night sky background first,
and then the snow on.
Let it be known that I zigzagged around *everything* I put on here at least twice, once with a fairly tight zigzag, and once with a wider one. This will hopefully fuse the entire thing together into one piece forever.
I wound up going around the buildings again, since I was too close to the edge of the building fabric, and it was just fraying away. I hope I solved that problem by going over it the second time, but time will tell.
I also ran out of thread zigzagging around the buildings, which sucked a lot since I don't have a car, I didn't have a bus pass, and I couldn't really afford to take transit for one spool of thread, so I had to walk to Fabricland. And then I was stupid and didn't write down the colour number, so I picked up one that was ONE OFF of what I needed. And it was so incredibly noticeable when I tried to use it that I had to go back and buy the right one. AGAIN.
