"Stage Coach Balloon is Quite Huge", November 23, 2002
7:40am
Something BIG was happening on that white dropcloth! I marvelled at the size of this amazing stagecoach. As I am a seamstress by profession, all I could think of was the YARDS and YARDS of fabric that went to make this, and the poor seamstresses who had to sew it all. How strong the ones who worked on the nearly finished coach would need to be, as the weight of it, even though of thin nylon, would be tremendous. My wrists almost ached just thinking about it!
Possibly, there has been invented a portable stitching machine that they could walk around with to assemble the larger pieces. I hope so.
