Just a thanks for inspiration
James,
I just wanted to thank you for the inspiration I needed to fire up the old sewing machine. I am working with canvas material for a cover for my lid which opens from the back end on my 4.5 x 6.5 bed trailer. I had hacked up tarps and had things roped and tied together, but seeing this thread and your build thread was enough to encourage me to fire up the sewing machine. Several days later, and many wandering thread lines later, I have a repectable cover that I can set up in just a few minutes.
I am not sure if my wandering stitch lines are more from the weight of the material, not having any pattern or just much drunk sewing, but it was fun. I actually sewed together a carry bag with straps, and that was done inside, with lighter material, and actually looks pretty decent. So thanks again for inspiring me to relearn a long lost skill. Now if I could just learn to weld....
