Lee Cloth!

This was a quick and easy sewing project. I found a book on the boat, for canvas works. Inside it had all sorts of sewing projects for a sailboat.

The Lee Cloth is in our pilot birth. I bought remnant canvas at fabric shop near downtown. I followed the instructions, measuring isn't easy so we just estimated at our widest point between top and bottom. Then the length for 6 ft birth is about 4 ft, which is same on each side space for head and feet.  And cut fabric the sew up hem on each of sides. Place grommet on top corners. Then eye bolts at each top corner of pilot birth, tie grommet of lee cloth to eye bolt.



Nice easy project. I already have a list of new projects: wind scoop, spar bag, deck bags for stay and jib sails, fix repairs and errors on interior cushions, put up a water cover and safety netting, and the list goes on and on.
