After many months of waiting, my B990 finally made its way to our house!
I couldn't wait to get it set up
in my current sewing space...
Alas, it arrived only days before
I was scheduled for my
Total Left Shoulder Replacement Surgery...
I found a wonderful video share
on line with full video
instruction for how to make
"ACL Shoulder Surgery How to make a sling for support of shoulder or
arm after reconstructive surgery"
I started by quilting to fat quarters of TP fabric
Then I traced the shape of a
purchased sling to create a pattern.
I added an iPhone sized pocket
& sewed a binding all the way around the outer edge.
Next up was adding ribbon
to 4 corners to hold straps
I cut up a shoelace and
sewed it around the ribbons.
But then...
Next up would be the straps.
Alas, that's also when I had
my first thread battle...
My machine was now
officially christened.
After much patience---
I eventually got the nest cleaned out.
I had to sew the velcro on
VERY SLOWLY...
the needle and thread dogs hated it.
And then it was finally complete!
Surgery is tomorrow...
And I will be in the mega brace several weeks.
But this gives me something
personal to look forward to.
It will be quite a while before
I get to sew again...
or finish setting up my new sewing space.
But when I am back...
it will be the new bionic me :D
