Painted over pencil marks but you can really see where I painted

I tried to stencil a sun on the wall using tape but it didn’t work out. Then I used a paper stencil which worked way better (see the yellow sun). I tried to erase the previous pencil marks with an eraser but the pencil woudn’t move. Then I tried to paint over it with the same color from the same bucket as the wall. The wall and the touch up were done in like a week of each other so don’t really get why it game out this patchy. I even feathered out the edges with a small dry paint roller. But anyway it did came out like this and I would like to fix it ☺️

Now my questions are:
- I repaint the whole wall with the same color?

- how do I ensure the patches wont come through the new layer of paint?

- how do i do this while keeping the sun because I really like it ☀️

Ps: paint looks wet but isn’t because I paint it almost 24h ago

Zipper for round pillow cover

Hi!

I have a really pretty paspassan couch but the pillow for it can’t be washed. So I wanted to sew a cover for it. Would it be possible to sew it like 2 or would I have to do it like 1? The zipper the store recommended isn’t as long as the diameter of the pillow

The original pillow (see second pic) isn’t like a boxed round pillow so I probably will sew two circles together for the cover.

Thanks in advance for your advice x

My parents in law gave us a few boxes of babystuff from probably the 90s. My partner is the oldest of 3, but they are all born in the 90s.

We have discovered it’s supposed to be worn on the back after a few trials and error (without baby ofc)

I tried googling this but couldn’t find anything so i’m hoping you guys do!

Would it still be safe to use today? At what age/ at how many months can you put a baby inside?Just any info would be appreciated!

EDIT:

Thank your for the safety info! We'll definitely not be using this for our baby! Maybe we'll keep it for when they get older to play with!
