Now Eric has mastered sewing, the Queen can sit on her newly upholstered throne and direct the rest of the work! Enjoying your vlog.😊

I like your channel locks. My dad always told me, if you can't use force, get a bigger hammer...

If u put strap made from your seat material & Stitched them hanging down with zipper, then just roll up and tie. Comes down with shade cloth

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I considered that. Only problem is they'd then only be tied to themselves and therefor hanging from the zipper instead of the roll being snugged up under the edge of the canopy.

Love you guys! What I most appreciate about Eric sewing your new shades is that he's thumbing his nose at gender norms and your lil guy is around to witness it. Blessed be. ❤

Lauren is drinking on the job and appears disinterested. LOL….you guys are the best! Hope we run into out there one day.

Lol...that's her default when I'm rambling.

You only have 8 inches to go….that’’s what he said!

Lol...that's was intentional on her part...she had her fingers about 4" apart when she said it.

What kind of sewing machine I'd Eric using?

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

That's a REX. Cheaper version of the Sailrite. Doesn't do zigzag stitch but we're not using it for sails, so it's been great.

Well done. I taught my wife to sew, but i do most of it if needed. My mother and grandma were seamstresses. So must have been in my blood. Lol, but it was probably doing home economics lessons at school because I thought it would be a bludge(slang for a good way to waist some time). May have inadvertently learnt something. 😅

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, how could you not pick some of it up? That's cool. I find it pretty cathartic as long as I'm not in a big hurry or anything.

@tcoker6616 6 ай бұрын

What is that ring that you wear?

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

Only ring I wear is my wedding ring. It's titanium I think...been a while. Lol.

Hi guys! You did the knock off EVA foam off amazon if i remember right. How long has it been installed now? And how is it holding up? Would you install it again? We are building a 48 foot sailboat, and were considering this stuff for the decks.

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for watching. NO! Would definitely not use it again. Already in pretty bad shape. We’re planning to upgrade to PE/EVA as made by Seadek and TopDek. It’s about $275 per sheet instead of $75 but holds up really well. They use it on a lot of new sailboats.

@geniksonthego8963 6 ай бұрын

@@SailAwayVlog thanks for the feedback. You likely saved us a bunch of headache and heartache of putting it on our boat.

Then no grommets or loose ties

The little bungies can easily tuck up in the big laces around the edge if we don't want them hangin down.

Awesome job on those shades. We have the Phifertex shades too but paid $$ to have them made. They really do drop the temp a lot.

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, we of course thought they'd help, but it's been more than expected.

@stephenhise2470 6 ай бұрын

Need to give credit to someone who showed how to do the four point and finish sewing on all ends. Love the one you are with. More good to see good things.

@SailAwayVlog 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! I wish I could but I’m really just winging it. Loren showed me how to reverse to lock a stitch but that’s the extent of my training. Lol.

You can turn your hand to anything. I can hand sew mum tought me, But saw her sew her finger to something on a machine sister kicking off. Mum looked away deed was done. The only time my mum ever smacked any of us. I will never use a sewing machine.
