This task I left to my handsome husband. Who insisted it was just as easy to make an actual big top tent than make a teepee.
Oh really, I said, as I sat and watched.
Look at how annoyed he looks. I can only assume it's because, at this point in time, I was saying something like, yeah, that looks so much easier than a teepee.
He was, surprisingly, able to get the tent to this point, however unorthodox an approach he took.
Everything was starting to come together, even the structure for the domed top.
Then came the request, I knew was inevitable, the whole reason I wanted to do a simple teepee. He asked me to sew a cover for this domed circus tent top.
Do I sew...sure.
Can I make a draped and fitted domed circus tent top...no.
In my head, I am trying to figure out how to customize a domed top. Mind you, during this time, we also realized we ran out of red and white fabric so I was left to improvise with an old bed sheet.
I was growing more frustrated {measuring, cutting, remeasuring, re-cutting}, when my handsome husband says to me, if you can make a pillow you can make a fitted domed circus tent topper.
Are you kidding me? If I can make a pillow, I can make a 4 sided, customized fitted domed circus tent topper. REALLY.
So many things were running through my mind. Things like, our wedding vows included for richer or poor, in sickness and in health BUT not a domed circus tent topper.
In the end, our marriage survived. I'm curious to hear, if you think the domed circus tent topper did as well?
Yeah, another cliffhanger, I know :)
