Default any one working on a project

Last evening, I took two hours to repair a shadecloth that was 30' x 40'.
Some of the grommets had torn out. I was able, with my trusty Singer
111W155 machine to sew it all back together. The sun had deteriorated the
thread mainly, and the cloth as well as the edging was in remarkably good
conditions. I got to use my new grommett kit.

What amazed me was that I went to my shop and found some fabric that I
bought from Home Depot to make some skylight sun shades, and it was EXACTLY
the fabric of the costlier sun shade. I know where I'll go for the sun
shade material on my next project.

Was nice to fix a big piece of material, and have it come out so good.
