Life in a Northern Town

It’s done. I never believed I would actually stick with it but I did - it’s huge (see extras for it being modelled). Taking a photo proved tricky as it’s longer than the sofa but you get the idea. Each row takes half an hour, and when you factor in the sewing of the ends I reckon it’s about 8 full days’ work. So at minimum wage that’s about £2,000 in labour - not that anyone would pay that, but it gives an idea of how much work goes into hand crafted items.

It needs to be edged but I can’t decided with which colour, nor can I really be bothered but we shall see.

I’m taking 2024 off and will plan a 2025 version.
