I’m trying to guage interest at the moment for this idea. If there are a maximum of 4 people we can get a free venue. Here’s my blurb:

Make Your Own One-person Fly
One Day Sewing Workshop
(date to be firmed up but soon)
Participants must have some sewing machine ability.
Cost per person (ball park figure $60-$80) will be for materials and venue hire only.

Numbers will be limited because of pre-purchase of materials by me, but more people can come just to watch, or provide sewing tuition. You can choose any colour whatsoever provided it’s olive – sorry.
* Based on a proven design (proven by me), using 1100mm proofed nylon taffeta
* Weighs 400 grams finished
* no seam through roof as it comes off roll of cloth 1500mm wide
Materials comprise:
o proofed cloth
o nylon cord
o strengthening tape
o strong sewing thread
o parka nylon for stuff bags
o drawstring toggle

Hi Steve,
You convinced us: we are in! I’d love to make a fly and will bring Mika along to demonstrate the working of the sewing machine. Hope it’s okay if I opt for an olive coloured one?
