Step 4Heavy Duty Sewing
The awning cover is 16' long and 6' wide with a 6" hem for the rim frame all around the edge.
We could have just folded the edges but it seemed more festive to put blue sunbrella on the edges.
Also that allowed us to cut a big tarp straight down the middle without making it too narrow.
Franziska: "Why are you taking all these photos?". She's done a lot of sewing. She devised these slick strap reinforcements around the pushrod and rack frame holes.
Ita with heissschneider. It's a hot knife for trimming cloth so it won't unravel.
For the second awning we used up a lot of distressed sunbrella fabric, and we probably breathed too much plastic smoke from the heissschneider.
