Earlier this week customer Cammie called and inquired whether I knew someone who could sew an awning cover for her. After talking with her for a few minutes I told her to just bring it in and I'd take a look at it and I thought that with my guidance she could make this herself.
Today she brought in the fabric and the wooden frame her carpenter built for her and we tackled it together. We did some math, measuring and digging around in the basement for a few little supplies until we completed this awesome awning!
And we had a lot of fun doing it too. She has very little sewing experience but she was perfectly capable of "following the scalloped line" and sewed the little edging perfectly on the first try. Then we had to get "Girl Scout creative" with our staple gun with a too short cord and no working extension cord and a little more garbage picking to put it all together.
All in all a very satisfying project and now Cammie can tell all the visitors to her basement Ice Cream Parlor that "I made that!" and be deservedly proud of her achievement.
You are the best! Have I told you lately how glad I am to have you in my back yard for just this reason. That awning is adorable!
