Re: Sunforger Canvas Source
I do #3 above. It does in fact eat 1.5" of mid weight fabric. In real heavy canvas with a beginners sewing skills, 2". I could care less though I just want a bombproof seam and full lap fell is it.

Re: Sunforger Canvas Source
I made full lap fell seams. Never having made any other seam type I can't speak to how good they are. Imma guess 60s era Apollo space suits had full lap fell seams. lol

Re: Sunforger Canvas Source
There are alternatives to 100% canvas. A 50:50 blend of polyester and cotton is an option. I used cheap canvas painters tarps for the wall of my yurt and they are that blend. Porous as all get out...
