losing my mind in silly ways
I'll post a picture once I make a mock up, I let the customer take the thing, I realized I can't explain it without.
I had forgotten you cannot put a cushion zipper on a DR chair pad all the way into and to the far side of the spoke cut out.
well, you can but then you lose your surface for the velcro tab to attach. I could get one tab almost the full width of the box ( 2" ) on the butt end of the zipper side of the cut out, then the zipper prevented me from applying the velcro mate.
Already did all four cushions complete up to that point, lost in a fog with no plan.
I made double fold ties preparing to tie the whole thing instead when an idea hit me.
This is why I need a picture: I folded the tie in half and made a flat point at the center, and stitched that triangle down. I sewed velcro mate to that end and also to some of the doubled tie, to make a one inch square portion of hook tape.
at the ironing board I then bent each paralel ( sp )raw end symetrically to point in opposite directions, to make a 90 degree turn to sew into each side of zipper seam where it met the cushion top and bottom.
what this made is a velcro flap that was solid at the hook site, yet split, so I could get almost full use of the zipper I had already installed.
I'll make one and take a picture of it, before I forget myself...

there are more changes than I first realized
one, I had to sign in now, first, before seeing my usual and specific Blogger choices, that's top right on your new page once hitting I Power Blogger Icon at bottom left of THIS page.
what the first page now is after hitting I Power Blogger is the offering to read the latest BLog entered anywhere in Blogger Universe.
and, Karen, the links are gone ? Intentionally ?
