5827 - Play Canopy Pattern Description
Tent that hangs from hoop with large cushion. Which view and size did you make?
A Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
Honestly think mine is cuter! Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
Mostly straightforward. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Straight seams, but uses TONS of fabric. Fabric used
Cotton woven, nylon chiffon Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Did not velcro cushion to back of canopy. Put ribbon ties for the "door" but may change back to the pattern way of velcro on woven. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
So great to put the hoop in with velcro. Foam is very expensive and I couldn't afford to use it for the cushion. Used a bed topper and a sleeping bag inside instead. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
