Yard work and thread bed progress

How did I miss cutting this down the other day when I had help! This is Zebra grass and it gets huge.

The grass was getting long, but I really didn't want to cut it because I had a few grape hyacinths growing in the grass and I liked seeing them.

I broke down and went ahead and cut the grass in the front and on one side of the house. This made it easier to clean up the Zebra grass since the grass was shorter. I still had my neighbor's hedge trimmers, so I got after the Zebra grass. Three trips to the debris pile in the back and the mess was cleaned up.

I headed inside to press the interfacing on the thread bed lining pieces. I also got the pieces trimmed to size.

The next step is to center the lining piece on the outside fabric

Mark three quilting lines with blue tape and stitch along the tape

I am almost done with completing these! Next, I positioned the flannel piece, sewed it in place, flipped it back and topstitched it.

The pocket unit is in position.  I will press the self-binding around the entire outside edge and add the green needle felt piece and my label as I topstitch the binding.

I will add a snap and then it will be done!  Wait until you see my nifty new snap tool!
