How to complete a sewing project with a cat in the room.

Step 1: Hope the cat's interest does not increase.



Step 2: Curse your naivety.



Step 3: Remove cat to couch, where he will look forlorn.



Step 4: Insert one pin.



Repeat steps 1-4 until cat tires of pincushions and crinkly pattern paper and decides to helpfully cover fabric stash with cat hair.

Step 5: Eat ice cream and/or take nap.

I actually did manage to finish this. I'll take some pictures eventually and post them up to demonstrate my improbable success.
