#The amount of hours I’ve racked up this week just cutting and sewing is astronomical

[not-the-coffee-machine4]

update on the Joe Fannelli* AIDS memorial panel for those interested: I am closing in on the homestretch y’all! All the felt accessories have been cut and sewn accordingly (took like three days), and apart from a few minor crises (messed up the stripes on my own country’s flag, ran out of red thread halfway through sewing the UK flag, stabbed myself with the needle so hard I’ve drawn blood) things are going smoothly and I’ve begun sewing the felt letters of his name to the fabric. So far I only have the “Joe” and that alone took like three hours because I don’t have a sewing machine and also I accidentally stitched the J to my bed so I had to redo that 💀

once that’s done, I’ll sew the accessories to the fabric, do the required paperwork, and call it good!

on track to be done by next week, and I’ll try to ship it out as soon as possible but the temperatures where I am are going to be HORRID and quite frankly, I’m not in the mood to freeze to death!

TL:DR: not long now!!

*we have amassed reliable information that his name is in fact spelled with two Ns and not one
