 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 61

I have now finished the Ears. I decided against any further decoration as I wanted to move on.

Gone Sideways

 

Nope you are not looking at the above photograph wrong. This is what really happened. This is a far more complicated process than I realised. First, I have to remove the Green Inner Bag. Then I Flip the Flap so not in the way.

Next, I have to put my hand inside the Bag. I have to take the Pocket on the outside with my other hand. I try to place it in position. Then I have to take a Needle with the Wool push through both the Bag Layer and that of the Pocket. Conclusion. I do not have enough hands.

This Time Pin

One of the major problems is that I cannot see what I am doing. I am either looking at where I am putting the Needle through or where I am holding the Pocket.

This Time I have Pinned the Pocket roughly in place so I can concentrate on what I am doing with the Needle.

Got it Straight

 

Got it Straight. Hmm. Well not exactly Straight as the Pocket is more Bowl shaped than Rectangle. That is due to the way I picked up the Stitches and how it has Stretched during Sewing. At least it is Vertical and not Sideways this time.

To give the Pocket plenty of Strength I Sewed it using a Backstitch. Then when I got to the Top, I turned and went over the Stitches I had already done.

Start Bright Red

With the Pocket now Sewn in place I can continue. My next step is to add Leaves. I have started with a Bright Red one. This shows up nicely against the Golden Yellow of the Pocket.
