It is finally done! Strapping anyone?

The organ cover is finally done thank goodness. I was certainly feeling it in my arms and shoulders from wresting it. I sewed on the end handles. I first sewed a piece of strapping to join up with the handle strapping. I did four rows of straight stitching and then zigzag the handle and ends. The handle at the end makes it easier to grab and hold on to the organ while it is being moved. It takes two people to move it.

Lastly I added the top flap. There is no stress on this piece so I only sewed it on with two rows of stitching. Slapped on some Velcro to hold it in place and the cover is done!

I bought the 2" wide strapping from HomeSew. They are going out of business so everything was 60% off. They were sold out of the 10 yard rolls so I bought the 100 yard roll. I used 10 yards making the organ case so I have about 90 yards left - LOL!!!  Anyone who needs some strapping I would be glad to sell you some! It cost me about twenty cents a yard.

The next projects I am going to work on are baby quilts and tote bags. I have seven baby quilts to finish. Three are pin basted. I am going to start with this one.

The tote bag is not the ones I use for the merch booth. I made several of these fancy ones, but misplaced/lost my cutting sizes. I will have to figure out the measurements and sew together one to make sure I got everything right. Here is the one I made myself that I can use as a guide.
