pic 01: Now to the sewing! I take about five feet of this thread, very heavy, waxed thread (left hand twist, mind you...), thread a needle onto each end, and then pull the thread through so the first stitch starts at the middle of the thread, like this.

pic 02: Now I start to make the first stitch carrying the thread to the next hole, passing the needle in my right hand through the hole and out the left side.
