I've been side tracked recently, I want to sew, we're hospital visiting etc., so sewing time is short. I'd cleared another corner but couldn't find a home for where things should go, it was hot and I was torn with the mess, the sewing and the Izzi that wanted putting together.
Yesterday with 20 minutes to coffee time I dropped sewing and went to the Izzi. If I kept on sewing I'd forget about the time and DH out working would be waiting for the call for his coffee in vain.
I'd counted the pieces already so everything was there and since I'd put two up myself I knew it was straightforward. It wasn't, I couldn't get the screws tight enough on the bottom piece and since I don't like asking for help until I'm desperate, I left it. Going back today I'd unscrewed and re-screwed still with the same problem, I hadn't got enough strength to turn and worse the pole/rod was turning as I tried to screw.
Not wanting to get beaten I was looking round for something to hold the pole/rod. I've ordered some leather to make
some zip pulls since I couldn't see what I like. A 12 inch square remnant. Wrapped it round and turned the Allen key, it flipping worked straight away, hard to pull round but it was shifting. Gave me a red face but done. Still got the rest to do but at least I have the 'tool'. Still got a mess as well but getting there.
