A very quick project and cheap simple porch for a £20 tent from a local supermarket :)
9000hh 180g taped seam.
Here is the link to the sizes, need to download and zoom in, prints nice on A4.

I used it to try some new things,
Taped seams using a home iron, using a PU tape on PU coated fabric, I was amazed at how well this works, very easy to do and a very strong bond. Will be taping seams in the future.
I usually use sew-all thread, but want to try some backpacks so started using Guttermans Tara 60 thread. Well impressed, silky smooth, I needed a microtex 80 needle, higher tension needed, have one bobbin set up just for this thread now. I really like this thread, much stronger, but does sit higher above the surface of the fabric.
Then wanted to try a new seam I have been working on. I have had a few problems with flat felled seams on very slippery fabric, so I came up with this one, similar to flat felled but a bit stronger, and only half the number of stitch holes open to the rain. the bottom stitch row is hidden just under the fold. This is very easy to construct with difficult fabrics. Seems to be working great.
