Nothing short of awesome. Nicely done
I think you did an amazing job. I don't think I have the patience to create what you did. But that's true for about 99.9% of the stuff you do. I wish I had a pinkies worth of your skill- gonz
Come and take it
Go work at joann fabrics if you can't shoot a gun
I fake it a lot Gonz. Sometimes it actually works. I owe what I know to my Grandma. She could make anything from a pile of discards. And she did. She had a craft room that I remembered as being huge. Pottery wheel, bins of everything, etc. I saw it later as a teen and it was a little wing of the home that was essentially a laundry room. Amazing things came out of that little room. Funny how you remember things from being a kid. I wish she was still around.
By the way, what fabric are you using? Duck canvas?
Same here.
It is a very modern waterproof convertible top material. Sold on all new convertibles on the market today. It is miles above canvas duck fabric. Extremely strong, very tear resistant (I can't get it to tear) and very good looking with a small tight grain similar to a high quality bed sheet. The inside has a slightly textured surface that resembles very miniature diamond plate. Both sides black and very nice looking. There is not one thing wrong with canvas duck. I'd use it too. But this stuff is really something.
FYI, my seams are not waterproof. I am intending to try and learn how to make them waterproof and that includes the window. For now rain can migrate past the stitching. But hey, it's a military truck right?
I've looked into it in the past (I used to do industrial sewing) to waterproof the seams of a backpack I was modifying. There's a waterproofing tape that you can use to cover the hem (adhesive-backed), or there's something you can put between the fabric and fold it over a few times before stitching.
