Arnavick got really brave last weekend and decided to pull open our awning!
When we bought Rosy, her prior owner told us the canvas was trashed. We were expecting a rotted, nasty mess.
You guys, LOOK AT THIS AWNING RIGHT HERE!
It’s in pretty darn good shape compared to the image we had in mind. And the colors! The colors match our beloved exterior striping! Swoon!
So, there IS a little problem… well, two little problems.
One, there’s some gunk at the very top of the awning. We will have to give it a good washing to see whether it’s just gunk, or if the canvas is rotting. I’ve never wished so hard for something to be gunk.
Two, the thread came out of the seam that’s right by the door, causing a hole. I can sew really well, but I don’t know how to go about fixing this problem. I don’t want to take the awning off, and I am not confident in my sewing when I have to raise my hands over my head to do so. The great news is, the fabric there is intact.
I was thinking to possibly just gorilla glue the seam back together? Is that crazy?

What type of fabric is it? Canvas? U bought something to repair our rdome tent where we sprung a little hole.

I believe it’s Sunbrella so acrylic. It’s a Zipdee awning, and they use Sunbrella exclusively, but not sure if this applies to vintage or not – not sure when their partnership started. What did you guys buy for yours?

That might be a good solution! Looks like they are marine grade repair kits, right? Thanks for the tip! 🙂
