Home made heavy duty cover

I figured that after building a plane how hard could it be to build a cover. My wife worked many hours and pushed her machine to the limits to make this:




The Softouch fabric is the same or similar, heavy duty water proof fleece lined, to those covers that most RV owners have.

I found it available at https://www.rochfordsupply.com/shop/Boating_and_Marine/Textiles/Softouch/index.html (item number 6887-989) for $12.23/yd. We used 6 yards.

My wife did a great job and I love my new cover. She has told me, in no uncertain terms, that next time I should not be so cheap and just buy it like everyone else. ;^)

Years ago I made one using fleece on the inner side and spinnaker or kite cloth on the outside. It worked great until once when I washed it and dried it in the drier. The fleece shrunk and the thing never fit afterwards.

So pay attention to the washing directions!

Very nice, Todd! She did a great job!

I take it she has no intention on making any more? How about a instrument cover for the tip-up in rip stop/Velcro? They would sell like hot cakes.
