A hugggggge job needs a big Calculator...designing a pergola. June Paper Lady update...
This is what 20 yards of 60 inches wide looks like on my giant sewing table.... ( the ground of our backyard) Trust me that was a lot of fabric to make the pattern for our 2nd pergola....
This is Sunbrella fabric, ( outdoor use and sailing fabric) although no sailing is planned we will certainly be covered....This fabric is heavy and thick and trying to measure, calculate exact measurement and sewing ..welllll let's say I was a glow most of Saturday....

Don't you love my CALCULATOR.. it is 3 feet x 1.5 feet wide.. My beloved has a wicked sense of humour...I was constantly asking. "where is my calculator?", I don't ask anymore..hard to lose such a large TOOL...:)
I had to do some cutting and piecing and see that pleat...welll there are 3 more of those.. and all the grommets are sewn on...HOWEVER Sunday we had a needed rain so we did not get it up...perhaps this evening....
My beloved surprised me on Saturday when a trip to the hardware was needed for some more screws...He picked up this fan and sprayer...let me say it was most welcomed.. The temperature reached the high 90's , almost 40 C... We did manage to put up our coolaroos, these are special blinds that keep out 90% of UV rays and they are see through and keep our pergolas quite cool... WE still have another to put up when we get the other cover/tarp up.....
But this is what happened on Sunday...it never stopped raining...the clouds were beautiful....I love summer rainstorms...even though technically we are still in Spring....hard to believe with all this severe weather changes...Yesterday it felt like a cold fall, it dipped to 40's, 6 C.....
This photo is from my hanging plants on our deck...look closely, they look like white moths... aren't they pretty...?
And speaking of Pretty...did you see Cori;s Applique lady..wait till you see all the details on her blog....She turned JUNE paper lady into a FASHIONISTA..... Look at that ruffle and the details of her dress? She amazes me with all of her fine stitchings....
Here are my trio...Cori showed pics of her trio...I completely forgot that ...so I took a trio pic this am....I just love these ladies....
Each one anyone works on would be so different , we show you all the steps... every little detail so you too can be a FASHION DESIGNER...
