One down, one to go…
I punched holes along one edge of the 'bottom' edge section.
When that was all sewn up, it joined like this on the sunny side.
I then unpicked the stitching on the curve, back to where I had to cut the threads short.
I then started sewing the edge piece back on from this point.
When I got past where the two edge pieces were joined together it looks like this on the inside.
By now it was really starting to take shape.
But I had too much material on the bottom edge and it was a challenge to work out where to cut/joinit.
So I pushed the foam and plywood into position.
This allowed me to pin one edge into the foam itself.
I then used masking tape to give me three lines.
- Where the edge lined up (on the right)
- Where the two pieces would be sewn together (middle)
- Where I could cut off the excess material (on the left)
I then took a deep breath and made the cut.
After a lot more sewing and trimming of excess edges I had this.
