And THAT is the best comeback I have ever read!!!!


Great Job, I bet you couldn't find one done better in a store.
Now, make a label that says "Made in the USA" and sew it on the inside :)

Looks great! What do you charge?

On a similar note, I sewed the first T-Topless canvas we made for our SeaPro, while my wife was outside in the 90-dgree heat helping the neighbors lay St. Augustine sod.

Don't do it anymore, but the 1st one worked well, and got us started.

Looks great Scott! We should compare some notes on materials and sources. I found some great places with excellent prices on all kinds of stuff.
