Now the first part is finished, start with the C-shape.
With the experience from the 'block' you use the same technique for the C-shape.

Difficulties

- The center of the top-part is quite difficult. Use a spare-piece of cloth to test the cuts you will need to make. ! be very carefull cutting, as you will cut too deep quite easy. Don't underestimate, cut, test, cut a bit more, test again !
- use same folding edge corners like the 'block'. If it leaves markes from the wood, fill it with extra foam where needed.
- I used like with the block, a piece of cloth for the outside of the C-shape and stapled it in the C-cutout (see picture 13 below)
- I used a small piece for the cutout with overlap. Mount it like all other side-walls and fold in the edges for sewing. Use same sewing technique as shown before.
- I finished it by putting in 2 nails so the corner-sides wont be able to be ripped down.

! Tips / Remarks

Be carefull with your cuts. Use cuts and small v-shaped at the end to devide the tension better.
