DIY: MORE CANVAS TO BE SEWN


Well, I have some more canvas to be sewn this weekend.

When we started this spring.  I had three major projects to complete.  The main project was the tarp/cover for our dinghy.  That's the biggest project and the most complicated.  I managed to get that completed last weekend and the dinghy is back up on the roof of the boat.  Thank goodness that's done. 



Now, I have to make a simple run-off cover to protect the new back deck cushions that I made last year. 







And last and simplest of all I need to make a cover for our on-board Bar-B-Q that Dan installed last summer.   These projects will not be too complicated, but I'm anxious to get on with them. 
 
Then there are also a couple of interior upholstery projects on my list.  And it turns out that my fabric has been discontinued, (after all it's only been 10 years since I started my upholstering lol ) so I am going to have to improvise and made do with what I have on hand.  As usual, we will figure out something, but those problems can be put off until after launch if needs be.   (See, that's how it got to be 10 years)
 
Dan is also very busy with his list.  His list involves fibre glassing, oil changing, grease cups, packings and all kinds of other things that he keeps explaining to me and I don't really understand.  But, anyways he's very busy.  And this weekend he has the added chore of re-installing those new taps, that replace the ones that broke last weekend.   
 
 
THE SOONER ALL THE PROJECTS ARE FINISHED THE SOONER WE CAN LAUNCH.
