Tipi Report - The word of the day is REINFORCE

Tipi lodge lift flap/tongue and reinforcement patch.


Starch ironing the patches really aides the whole sewing process at this point as the layers and folds keep building.

After all the reinforcing patches are in place the cotton webbing hem tape will be added along the entire edge. I went with the cotton webbing as it would appear more authentic than nylon, matches the canvas coloring. And as this will be the top of the lodge, it won't break down from being exposed to the harsh prairie sunlight like nylon.
