I’m in the midst of designing and making two complete sets of Torah appurtenances – Torah mantle, ark curtain and bimah cover. As usual with these things, there is a rather pressing deadline so I’m in a bit of a scramble to get things ready before we go on holiday (where I am, hopefully stitching away happily, as you read this).
I thought it might be nice to see what it looks like when I work on a larger scale – I’ve got used to being able to work on a nice civilised kitchen-table scale, but this time I’ve got rolls of paper everywhere and I’ve commandeered the train sidings, much to the disapproval of the station manager.
I’m sure I’ll be writing more about it, but for now, here is the first installment of the photo diary.

Good luck! Hope the stitching’s going smoothly.

Smoothly but slowly! I’m hoping that deadline adrenaline will kick in soon.
