My entry for stitched and Bound is finished - well it had to be as entries close January 31st!!
I ended up going for a small spinnaker shape about 1.5m x 1.2m (60 x 50 inches). The real spinnakers are huge - we are talking tennis court size.
It is 2 layers of ripstop nylon. Initial I quilted it together with white thread to represent the different panels but of course that didn't show up enough - what was I thinking! I then had to go over it with blue thread so you can see it. The seams on our spinnaker are 3 step zigzag which my Janome does so that made life easy, not that you can really tell as the stitches are so small! The corners have interfacing in them as reinforcement to add stability.
