The cabinet took one coat of primer and two coats of paint to get an even color. The white makes the muslin look really dingy, but I don't care. I put it to use the last two nights making up a very quick tshirt. It's so fabulous I think I need to name him.
Me: I really should get the seam roll out, but then I'd have to find it and put it back up.
It: No worries, just pull open this drawer.
later...
Me: Shoot, I need my pressing guide.
It: Why here it is.
So fabulous having two flat surfaces. Normally I have to drape my chair with the cut pieces as I work, but now, I can just move them to the pressing table.
I did decide to put the pressing table against the inner wall instead of the window b/c I do more long term cutting/altering than long term pressing. I need to get a good pic up, though.
Oh, and I did get one thing sewn between starting work on the cabinet and finishing it:
I sewed my husband a shirt he actually likes!!! Of course, it's because he told me to copy another RTW shirt he likes. I used David Coffin's copying shirt video to get me started. It was fairly easy and dh actually likes the shirt. Piping and the collar were a beast, but I got it done. Now that I've seen how wonderful the pressing table is, of course I don't want to wait to start on the cutting table. Maybe I can get it all done before school starts up again in August.
