I had started this entry back in July and I thought that I had completed and posted it already. I found it in the drafts. Oh how time does get away from me. I will continue it now but I just thought that I would metion that this project was completed in July and added to the boat then. It has been tested, tried and true. We love it!!
We have problem with storage in the boat. There is no room. This is not a new story. So storage of a big bulky sail on the foredeck is a fantastic idea. We found a jib bag kit on Sailrite that will be perfect for us to use. We purchased the kit and it came in the mail shortly thereafter. It has all of the sunbrella material in color Captain Navy with the pattern drawn on the fabric. It also includes the thread, zipper webbing and an instructional video that you can watch along the way of your sewing process. It was pretty easy to put together. Though I have only had one home-ec sewing class in like the 7th grade when I lived in New Orleans, LA and I can't say that I was at the top of the class. I have only really done crafting projects since and never any clothing from a pattern. So this was a brave project and Mark had no doubt that I could do it. Maybe he just thinks this is a girl thing and we are all born with the ability and know how to run a Singer. Ha! I did have Mark help me out also by having him cut the fabric out with the hot knife.

It all worked out well and here is the finished project.
