tent stuff
So a week ago I cut out 8 trapezoids for tent walls, and then the work week happened, so no progress for a couple of days. Yesterday I attached one of them to a door panel, and today I attached three more. Four to go, then the other door panel, and the walls are grossly complete.
I say "grossly" because they'll still need lots of little stuff: stake loops at the bottom, toggle loops at the top and ends, maybe hemming... it would be really nice to not have to hem 62 feet of wall-bottom and 52 feet of wall-top, and they are selvages, so it's not absolutely necessary, but if they'd been woven on medieval looms (presumably less than 7' wide), the top and bottom would be cut along the weft. I think that can be postponed: if we need to set up the tent at Pennsic without that hemming, it'll still work.
