Started working on my next #sewing project last night by making four two-inch strips of grey nylon… @sewing

Joined two strips of grey nylon on the bias, trimmed the seam allowances with a hot knife, and pressed the seams open.

Some more slow #sewing progress:
Created a pattern of the sides using a large piece of cardboard; added seam allowances; traced it onto some white nylon; used a hot knife to cut out two side panels, plus one long 26” × 110” panel to cover the front, top and back; then added notch markings approximately every 12-14 inches.
Such large pieces to work with, and this nylon is a lot thicker/heavier than I intended!

Sewed on the piping/welting, then attached the two side panels to the long panel to create an open rectangle.
I’m feeling very grateful to have a whole room dedicated to #sewing, and to have large industrial machines with tables large enough to not make this incredibly frustrating. Even still, the nylon is so heavy and not as drapey as I had planned, and the whole thing together is so large that it does require a lot of maneuvering just to sew it!
