Very sweet. Love the different colors.

Looks like a great job with neat seams. That's a real nice first.

Nice job.

On the next one, you can cut your sewing time down by setting the stitch length to about twice as long as what you used. 8-10 stitches per inch is plenty.

Great job, that's a project I hope to tackle this year, thanks for the post.

Thanks all dirt wheels if your close to charlotte could knock it out in a day if you want.

I am close, in Fort Mill. I don't have a time frame as I have a fair amount of kit on hand. But before winter I want to make a tarp with doors. I just picked up a sewing machine but haven't had time to lube it up and test it out. I have a pair of doors on the way for my edge tarp and plan on getting out to Kings Mountain to test them out in the next couple of weeks.
