    Default Sew along, tipi or tent? Anyone want to join?

    I'm baccck, LOL. So my glowing compadres, i ask you, is anyone interested in joining me for a sew your own tent/tipi sew along? I still am wavering back and forth, but am almost settled on a tent or smaller yurt as they are more portable. I am a professional pattern drafter so if anyone wants a pattern for the cost of printing I would be happy to send you one.

    The plan to design sew and complete a tent for our families. Cost should settle somewhere around $200 unless we opt for an expensive fabric like sunforger instead of canvas.

    So is anyone interested after all the trouble i caused? LOL!!!!!

    It depends on where this would be offered. If it was in Vegas, I bet my wife and a whole bunch of people in my ward would go.

    I don't recall any trouble... just a difference of views and opinions.
    If I and my wife had the time and were in the area, we'd be interested. Sounds like a lot of fun and, just the thought of making something like that yourself would be way too cool.
    Welcome back and way to step up to the plate with such a generous offer.
    Even though I doubt we'd be available to participate, a great big thank you from me.

    And great big kudos to you.

    I would love to come to Vegas and teach, its not far from AZ, but I just don't have the money to do it.

    I was thinking I would do a series of Youtube videos and offer a pattern on how to do it so anyone could do it.

    Thanks DMGNUT, what an awesome welcoming party you make!

    I would be very interested in the utube videos. My sewing maching just got back into service after a long down time so am a little mired down in finishing our foam clothing and hesitate to start another project right now.
    I second the welcome back and thank you for your willingness to help us.

    Well I finally landed a job and caught up the bills, so I may just have some funds to get this going in a couple weeks. Look for my next post to let you know what materials you will need for your project. We are going to try for a yurt.

    Although I don't have the time right now to participate, I will be following along with great interest.
    Please keep up with the posts.
    This will also be a great recourse for folks to look back at later on.
    So long, and thanks for all the fish.
