Pinning the rope reinforcing in - half way down one side, but paused to let Z finish spicing on the rope. Besides, run out of pins and my fingers need to recover a little.
Edit: Found more and now one side is roped and pinned. Next, long seams...
The annoying bit is not being able to pin the lot up and then just sew all the way around - rolling so it is more easily fed through the machine means we have to stop and re roll things...
Edit 2: (10:20pm) The advantages of local cricket grounds. 2 side seams rope reinforced, pinned and sewn, with one more pinned and ready to go once we reroll. Was a really nice sunset too. Then there is just the sort bottom one which will need a splice and all the machine sewing will be done :) We wont mention the issue that we measures it and it is 4.5m wide and the central ridge pole at the top is 4.4m wide... There are ways...
