sails.

pinned old sails onto board over tissue paper.

drew outline of sails, then removed sails.

added vertical seam lines and hem allowance.

cut out patterns and pinned to callico with warp of cloth running top to bottom of sails.

cut out each sail.

ready to start sewing.

used finest needle, very light brown fine thread

and stitch length set to 1mm.

set top thread tension slightly less than bottom.

sewed all vertical seams.

this use of different tension puts a "belly" in the finished sail.

the seams are only to show sails made up from multiple bolts of canvas.

will do hems tomorrow.

off to mold pm to watch caernarfon rugby 1sts play mold.

hrs 155.
