Product Description:
The skills required for top-notch canvaswork are astonishingly few, and canvas's potential to protect your boat and enhance your enjoyment of it is practically limitless. Here is all you need to tackle virtually any canvaswork project: sails and sailcovers, flags, dodgers, ditty bags, cushion covers, and awnings--including Biminis. It's clean, safe, and risk-free--and you'll save a bunch of money and get exactly what you want in the process.

I got this book to get info on redoing the interior of my sailboat. In Casey's Hull and Deck Repair he makes a reference to this seek out information on headliners and interiors in his book "Canvaswork and Sail Repair". Without thinking about it i ordered the book. I could not find one reference to headliners in this book. I guess the "Canvas Work" in the title should have given it away. Ive now learned how to make enough canvis tote and duffel to supply the entire U.S Navy, but still have a poor ... Read More

This is a good book for understanding the basics of small DIY canvas projects. For those that have not sewn much, or don't know where to begin, it has great basic info. I consider it a good starter book, and one that is easily read.

If you think you will become a master canvas fabricator from one book, you will have a rude awakening taking on the ... Read More

Let me try to be a bit more balanced than "Deke."

I've talked to a number ... Read More

This book is okay as a basic intro to sewing, but is 90% about small canvas craft items you can make for your boat - and doesn't really get into sail repair at all.
I picked up a few pointers from the book, but overall would recommend something more in-depth if you're serious about sail repair.

I wanted to know how to do it myself. Buy a sailrite sewing machine or at least a leather palm and even men who never sewed in their lives can repair a rip in the mainsail.
