kapok futon

Today we made a futon and I learned:

1. You can't make a covered zipper in a futon case. There's too much fabric for trying to stitch on the outside of the thing.
2. Kapok feels like fluffy dog undercoat. Imagine naturally occurring, blondish, very soft, good-quality polyester pillow fill.
3. If you finish stuffing the thing at, say 10:30 at night, so you don't feel like tacking the thing together, you end up with essentially a pillow the size of a queen-size bed. I'll post a picture tomorrow, because a giant pillow is not something you should miss.
