That's the 'easy' bit done... 😂

Now just the small matter of getting all those shapes onto fabric, cut and then stitched. Give me 10 minutes. No bother.
Just to give you an idea of scale. That's an A1 drawing on an A0 board. My biggest piece so far
All pieces numbered, ready for tracing onto bonding paper, ironing onto fabric, then cutting, cutting and more cutting. All 853 pieces... 😱
Fabric bought! Can't wait to see how this comes together 😊
Just under 850 shapes traced onto bonding paper, ready to be ironed onto fabric and cut. This may take some time... 😱
12 pieces in place... 838 to go 😱
Normally I bond all the pieces of fabric in place, then stitch it all. This time, my bonding paper isn't playing ball so I'm stitching as I go. Can you imagine if 850 pieces all fell off before I'd stitched them down?! 😱

So here's 31 pieces stitched, only 819 to go. Doddle.
Making slow progress...
This is the back of just SOME of the windows waiting to be attached. 108 of those little bundles. Yikes. Keeping my fingers crossed for no sudden gusts of air...
Progress...

Hoping to have the bulk of this finished by Sunday night 🤞🏼
Getting there...
Notice anything missing?
One letter down... Sixteen to go
All these little shapes have to be drawn, traced onto backing paper which is ironed onto the fabric, cut, ironed down and stuck in place, then stitched. Which may explain why I'm STILL working on this 🙈
People Make...
Letters all in place... Phew!

Will finish the rest of the building tomorrow 🤞🏼
Final trip to the sewing machine. This thing weighs a ton!
Just a few more stitches to go!
This is all I'm going to show you for now, but I'm over the moon this is FINISHED!! 🎉🎉🎉
OK, so I know I said I was going to wait to show you this but I'm too impatient... I hope you like it!
