What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever repaired?

We're not talking clothes. Have you ever stitched up a stuffed animal, a tent, or even a car seat? Share your odd sewing adventures! Happy weekend, everyone!

My daughter ripped her favorite stuffed bunny, so I stitched it back together with a hidden ladder stitch. She was thrilled! it looked almost brand new.

An 8 person canvas tent. It needed the roof patched and a new door zipper.

I put my industrial machine on the inside in the center. It worked great!

I used denim knee patches for the roof and two sleeping bag zippers for the door.

That’s such a clever setup! hauling the industrial machine into the tent feels like peak “get it done” energy. I’m curious how wrangling all that canvas went. I’m wonderingm did you have to wrestle the tent around the machine, or did it actually feed pretty smoothly?
