As a Seamstress at Age 13, I appreciate JOANN’s Knowledge!
I repaired my Backporch Awning with Heavy Thread at Least Once. A Storm Ripped my Awning Off a Few Years Ago, and although my Repairs Reattached Original Awning to Steel Frame, I have searched for Instructions as to how I could Purchase Canvas and Make a New Awning without Removing the Steal Frame screwed into the Brick at my Backdoor. JOANN’s Instructions have Inspired Me to Once again use my Knowledge of Textile Construction to Begin This Project. The Manufacturer of Previous Canopy is no longer in Business, but the Steal Frame is Extremely Sturdy and was Professionally attached to my Brick House as a Canopy for Back Door. Once I purchase Sufficient Canvas after meticulously Measuring canopy Frame.., I know JOANN’s Fabric/Textile Store will have not only the Canvas needed, but perhaps any Additional Trim To Enhance and Secure the Canvas to Frame. Once I accomplish This Project I will Add a Photo of its Completion! The Homes in my 1930’s-1940’s Homes have Similar Awnings of which many required repair or Replacement!
