Today was the first day on the project without a significant mishap or other source of frustration. As a result, much progress was made. But there is less to write about.<\/p>\n
The replacement fabric arrived via overnight freight from Noah Lamport. A lovely sky blue.<\/p>\n
Together, Kevin and I cut out panels 6, 7, 8, and 9. We plan to cut the last four panels tomorrow. At that point, we’ll have completed the cutting for all of the envelope except the mouth (Nomex) and parachute top. We’ll fold up the cutting table which will allow more room for the ever-growing piles of fabric.<\/p>\n
Kevin’s been sewing up a storm. His routine is to sew until the wee hours of the morning (i.e. 2:30 AM or so) He’s now got all of the gores completed from panel 2 thru panel 6.<\/p>\n
I’ll post pictures tomorrow of the progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
