We treated ourselves to a new wooden swingseat - whilst loving the slatted top the sun was so strong I decided to make a canopy and also a matching cover for the seat cushion. The fabric arrived quickly, and we were delighted with it! We could not tell from the little picture on line just how wide the stripes would be - any size would have done but we were extra pleased to find the stripes were the perfect size for our preference! Incredibly easy to sew using a normal size needle, I merely adjusted the tension a little. The canopy has stood the test during the recent mega thunderstorm and torrential rain and has survived totally unscathed. My husband, as some husbands tend to be, was particularly impressed with the cost! Personally I would have paid more as the fabric is just .. well... perfect! Delighted.
