Rooftop Tent Build Series – Sewing the Fabric!

in Sewing on 12/30/18

It’s time to show you guys how to sew!! It’s really not that hard!

In this video, I will show you the RipStop fabric I’ll be using. I’ll mock it up on the tent so I can figure out what shape it needs to be. Then we’ll be sewing our first hem! Yall bare with me! For some reason, I feel like this part of the build is the most difficult to explain. Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try to help out!
