\n <\/a>When I saw the technique challenge on Splitcoast (TLC676<\/a>) was a fancy fold, the first thing I thought was “it’s gonna be trouble”. I was right. But at least I had resigned myself to that fact going in. And it was really only trouble for a few reasons…<\/span>
\n \"\"<\/a>
\n 1. I also decided I HAD to give the <\/b>Gilded Faux Silk<\/span><\/a><\/b> another try (first time was horrible). It made the sliding top really stiff & hard to fold.<\/span>
\n 2. My measurements were a little different so I had to reverse engineer it. Sheesh! Will I never learn?<\/span>
\n 3. I keep getting sucked into the bottomless pit of hubby’s plumbing reconfigurations. Not only has he acquired every plumbing tool known to man, he also constantly borrows MY crafting tools. Apparently, my tools are better than his tools, lol. And I have to help him reengineer the problem. (He’s NOT a plumber..he’s not even particularly mechanically inclined, lol.)<\/span>
\n \"\"<\/a>
\n So..the gilded faux silk turned out better this time, probably because I needed snowflakes & blue & that looks good together. The fold finally cooperated. But then a fourth problem..silver & fancy folds are very HARD to photograph. It is what it is & here it is. <\/span><\/p>\n

And here’s a look at the inside. I went simple since the front was an engineering feat!<\/span>
