Yarn Bombing the DC-3 Part 1
We’ve begun to the construction of yarn bombing the DC-3. We had to move all of the inventory out of my studio, to the Old Fire Hall where we will be stitching everything together.
My studio with about half of the inventory.
We filed the Yukon Arts Centre car and had to do two trips to get all the knitting to the Old Fire Hall.
All the blankets ready to be unpacked.
All of our wonderful donations!
On the first week we worked with architects to tape down a pattern of the fuselage and the wing of the airplane. From there we assembled our inventory and began to lay down the blankets to fit the pattern and then sew them all together. We are hosting a sewing bee at the Old Fire Hall from Tues to Sat, 12-6 until August 10, for people to sit and stitch a little or a lot with us. Everyone is welcome, all supplies are provided. Or just drop in to see how the project is going.
