An Historic Tent: How I Made It

Making a tarp shelter using hand sewing sailmaking techniques was a fun project that has provided a portable shelter for many years to come. The final tarp is 140” long x 116” wide. I have stitched over 114 feet of stitching total with approximately 4600 stitches total. Its total weight is 9.6 pounds. Forgive the lack of historical clothing in this one-I don’t have a set to use and the amount of time it takes to make my living room look historical meant that the video would have taken even more time. One day I hope to be able to have a place of my own that I can film in without regard for the modern world. It took about two hours each per long seam and about 20 hours total, spread out in 2-3 hour increments over several weeks, to get it done. None of this is complex but it does get tedious. Still, there is something soothing about the repetitive nature of it. I gained a lot of knowledge and inspiration from what is known as the Military Tent Article by some phenomenal historians.
