Revile the fabric and start cutting the Viking tent.

I found an old coffee table on the farm and as I need a table in my room for the sawing machine. But as the legs on a coffee table are so short I made some new legs the hight of a kitchen table. Today I screwed them on and it went smooth except I hade to get a new bolt and nut of one of them as the threads were messed up.

 After that, I decided to open the package of fabric as I will be starting to sew soon. First was the bag made of tarp, then a layer of cardboard and finally a layer of bubble wrap, It was like opening a Christmas gift over and over the suspense is torture. through the bubble wrap, I could see the fabric and it lookt good.

 Then I opened the bubble wrap and saw the red fabric or should I say pink. Its a lovely pink but didn't expect it. and nothing that works with my Rohan them on the tent. The pink is lighter then it looks on the picture. 

So glad am into pink and the ide of having a pink tent. The 5-7th of July I borrowed a tent, it was a small geteld with a middle opening. then I was at a market with my Viking smithing kit. At first, I wasn't all into it but in the end, I was in love so I measured it and took pictures. This mixed with leftover green might be what I will do with the pink. But first I got to finish the Viking tent to see how much I have left.

This week I will stay 3 days at my dad's and start the sewing of the olive canvas. I have one roll of 27 meters and one of 13. I started measuring the 6,18 meters the test I did two posts back four times as I need 4 pieces for the long sides. I also wanted to see how much I got left on the roll. I marked every two meters with masking tape and a full line at the 6,18 mark.

After I hade done the last full line I noticed it looked very crooked, but it was getting late so I measured how much was left and let the crookedness be a problem for tomorrow.

I started with unwinding the roll some to find out where I started to measure wrong and see why it was so crocked. I checked each line with my big square and found a straight line and started to remeasure it, and it wasn't that wrong on ether side but then I came to the last line again it still was super bad. So I decided to only square up from the side I was closest to, then I measured and call it a day. 
Then that was done on the entire roll I needed to roll it up again so I could start cutting from the other side. I didn't manage to roll it straight back on the paper roll, so I called my mom and she tried to give me pointers over the phone but it ended with her coming over and helping me, so now am much better at it.

Then she went to go home I took a reding brake before I started to cut it out. As I hadn't unrolled it so much so I got to the first-panel earlier today I remeasured it and then sat down with the scissors but I didn't dare to start cutting so I called mom again for the support and it went much smoother to cut with her on the phone. I disregarded the lines I draw with tape and just cut between two inlay threads instead to get it straight.

After the first panel cut, I hung up on the phone and cut the rest three and called it a day. Would like to have gotten all cut-out but it's getting really hot in Sweden this week with temperatures between 27-30 centigrade and my room is like a green hose.

Wanted to have some sewn today but I will get satisfied with having everything cut out today. Then I put the scissors in the leftovers from the long roll it hit me for the first time why I got so much olive fabric over on the smaller roll and that's because I only counted on cutting one short side, can't understand how it hadn't hit me earlier. Some sort of warning flag should have gone up then I counted on getting 8,5 meters over. So I stopped cutting and went downstairs to see how I could fit it all on the roll. I started with removing some from each piece and then added them together, the number I got was way over 8,5 so I started to see if I could use the offcuts of the sides to puzzle it together, and after I hade spent some time doing that it hit me that I hade added up to many wall pieces as I started with all the pieces for one short side, this I blame on the heat. Then the correct pieces were added it ended up little over 8,5 so one short pice will be little shorter or something but I think I can make it work.

With the math was done and my mind at ease I went back up and cut out all the long panels of the short side, but after that, it was just to hot up there that I couldn't continue any more, it was so hot it burned in my nostrils like in a sauna then I breathed. I'm going home today, as tomorrow I got other stuff to do, but I will continue shortly again. Later into the evening, I did this little tent model intended for another tent made from the pink and some leftover blue. The full-size the tent is really small with a top inner hight of only 180ish cm. But if I add a skirt of some green I think I will get I can get it up to 2 meters which will be fine for a sleeping tent that fitts a small camping bed. Each square on the paper equals a decimeter square.
