The bloom is off the rose, with sewing that is. I like DIY, and I seek out those people/books/sites that educate on how to make things. But it's frickin' hard, and time-consuming. Getting pricked by the pins, wasting fabric from bad cuts, and trying to figure out how to sew on the SKINNIEST zipper in human history are all things that get a little exhausting after a while.
In any case, my wife and I have some leftover fabric from building a window bench in our kitchen. That was the reason that I learned to sew in the first place (cushions are the most expensive thing in this world as a function of their utility). We're hoping to be able to make this fabric last in order to sew the entire top bed (above the driver's seat). I bought some white canvas for the bottom, since the mattress is not reversible, so that we could make the blue fabric go farther. We'll see how that ends up.
