You'd have a problem with the DW draining. The longest drain hose I'm aware of is 10". Sure, you could jury rig a longer one, but it still has to drain into your sink, and that's a LONG way away to ask a DW pump to pump water. I don't know of any manufacturer that would warranty a DW in such a location. Sure, folks put DW's in peninsula's "around the corner" from the sink all the time. That's within the 10' limit normally. If the window is merely a passthrough, can you not just use a larger header to get a larger passthrough, (Close up the right side some if needed) or the same size opening centered on your space? That shouldn't be difficult to do, and then you can have your sink centered with 2 24" DW's just fine.

I was trying to figure out a similar issue I'm having and stumbled across this post and these comments. Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a rounded inside corner (as opposed to a 90 degree corner)? The other issue is the piece I'm securing the fabric to extends out from there. I've attached a picture from the Internet as an example of the inside rounded corner I'm referring to. This isn't my project but this is very similar. The fabric was already secured to the top of the table insert with spray adhesive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Sherry. I bent the needle pulling the thread to the side so it wouldn't pull out when I started sewing. I was also using a blue needle, and I think it was too hard to go through 3 layers (top panel plus doubled for piping) of even the thin fabric. It went much easier when I switched to a purple needle (that looked more delicate to me, but package said for denim). I still have to figure out what's wrong with that brand-new thread - is it b/c it's cotton? I didn't lose the zipper foot, it's just that I was trying to put it right on the cord to sew close, and it kept slipping off b/c the bottom of the foot is flat and the clothesline is round. I didn't have enough of the striped fabric to make 5 cushions (one of them a double), so I figured I'd use the solid color (lightweight material but I can waterproof it) so this will be a final cushion not a prototype. 1 down, 4 to go! My aunt gave me a bunch of fabric, including 3 yds of upholstery weight blue stripe! Oh well, it's an awning stripe, all the stripes same size, and navy blue. I like my faded one better. She said I started out with a hard project, but thought it turned out well. We didn't actually cut fabric, but she looked at what I had and rejected some (slippery silky stuff) and gave me a *lot* of nice stuff (some only a yard so I'll have to make tops or pants and find coordinating solids for other piece). I'm talking an 18-gal tote full, she has more if her DIL doesn't want it. She took the pattern pieces and laid them out on fabric, showed me what grainline means, explained the notches and marking. I might need to get some chalk or something. I did take a remnant she had in a navy blue pinstripe and cut out an apron for DD (using HD apron from a Kids' Craft as pattern). My aunt had made me a red pinstripe one but none of that in the box. I don't have any coordinating ribbon or bias strip for the neck loop and the ties so I'll look for something when I return this other fabric to Walmart. DD is spending another night at Grandma's so maybe I can at least get the apron finished by noon so we can make banana bread together! Oh, and I don't want to put piping on DD's PJs - she's so picky about the feel of things it would probably bother her. I'm not even going to put a button on the back of the top b/c her hair catches in it - my aunt suggested a snap. I'll try doing the next cushion (next time I have a w/e without kids) with separate piping though I probably won't cut it on the bias, to conserve fabric. If I cut it down the grain (along the selvage) it should have more stretch than across the grain, right?

Hi all, I just wanted to update on SD's birthday party. It was today and it was GREAT. After telling SD that BM told us she was going to do something with her on a different weekend, SD hadn't asked again about her mom or sister coming to her party. Her mom, of course, didn't call her at all this week and called her on Saturday (her real birthday) and talked for about five minutes. She actually cut off SD when she was telling her something and said she had to go. (her boyfriend's kids had a baseball game so that might be why. Then, her sister called her in the evening while we were out to dinner. Then, today was her party and just about an hour before it ended, BM's mother drove up with SD's sister. We were cutting the cake and my MIL asked her to come sit down. She told her, 'no, we just came to drop of a present. We weren't invited so we can't stay.' We gave SD's sister a piece of cake but grandma declined taking a piece. Then they left. A while later, SD told me she gave her sister a ring pop and I asked her why she didn't stay. SD said, 'I thought she wasn't allowed' and I told her 'who said? It's your party and they could have stayed.' SD looked puzzled and said 'oh' and wasn't fazed. She had a great time and said that her friends told her it was the best party they'd ever been to. SD had a wonderful time and she's so happy. (I also have to add, that BM's mother drove an hour each way to drop off her present. She brought her a bouquet of tulips and a Toy's R Us gift card) and I just wanted to add a picture of her cake. I spent two and a half days baking & decorating it myself...
