fabric prepped

All of the fabric has been prepped for the next fitting. The top has been sewn into 6 panels and the edges have been finished. The 6 front panels are also hemmed and reinforced. Next up is either a second fitting or surface decoration. It just depends on which I feel like tackling first.

Cuttin' & Sewin'

Started doing the fittings for the roof and came up 2" short of fabric then discovered that I had given myself much more ease than I needed. So after some trimming I think I have the roof worked out.


I'm going to finish only half of the seams so I can dismantle it in the future for decorating. After one more fitting I will focus on the front panels for the umbrella.

Back to Work!

Fabric has been scrounged, The wooden extensions were tested and measurements have been taken!

This week I will pattern out the sections and start cutting the fabric to give this thing some life. Soon we will be able to move on to the additions for the counters.
