Week 5! The end is in sight! This week we'll be stitching the side panels.
As a reminder, here's our roadmap:
Week 5, Oct 16: Stitch sides
Week 6, Oct 23: Stitch bottom, cut and sew lining
Week 7, Oct 30: Assemble, sew in lining, stitch exposed edges
Week 6, Oct 23: Stitch bottom, cut and sew lining
Week 7, Oct 30: Assemble, sew in lining, stitch exposed edges
The side panels are your last chance to add a bit of flair to your windows. You can stitch the cats or flowerpots from the pattern, or add your own flair! Some stitch-along participants have stitched their own dog, a mug of tea, books, spiderwebs, and more.
It's best to stitch the sides before cutting the roof angles at the top (ie, leave it as a rectangle for stitching). Try to cut the roof angles as a straight line - use my cut lines as more of a guideline than a requirement.
Happy stitching, you're on the home stretch!
