Hoophouse door repair

CatherineLeave a comment

We have had strong winds almost every day this spring. Maybe that’s the reason the zipper stitching pulled out of the front door of the hoophouse. With some encouragement from Sam, I decided to repair it with some hand stitching. It was challenging because, of course, it was windy when I worked on it.

Starting from bottom to join previously stitched row
Better view of stitching, about four feet of it in total
Repaired door now closes. Still buffeted by winds but not as bad as a half-loose door
Took a few extra stitches at the top to serve as a zipper stop
I really didn’t have the right thread for the job. I used this cotton thread because it was thick. I also used a scrap of gray thread, not sure of content.
