I bought 2 heavier type cloth shower curtains to use for my fabric. I found the canopies were about the same price as the curtains were on sale, but couldn’t find the same size , or style of canopy. Thanks for your tips. I agree that bringing the canopy inside is a good idea, and will make it easier to make a pattern out of.
Great video again. Very nice tree in your garden there, and I love the the way dogs get involved into everything especially when they think you’d be better of using a ball!!!!
Good video Vikki. That fabric is amazing to not tear or rip. That definitely is the way to go for an awning for,your swing. Thanks for sharing and I love all,of,your videos and the way you present them. Great job!
The Carpenter's Daughter Really? I’m in the market for that right now. I definitely will check it out. I’m sure not much of a “sewer” at all is the big deal!! Where there’s a will there’s a way as they say. Thanks so much!
I think I even read a review about this one on Amazon holding someone's weight. Once I work our the best way to make one, I might give it a go because my fiance keeps hogging the swing chair 😂
The Carpenter's Daughter SO funny! I am a larger woman so I have to take that in mind. I first had one of those "rope" settle and it stretched SOOOOO BBBBBAAAADDDD! Not good for me.
A little cutting here, a little sewing there, and voila, Bob's your uncle....a new canopy! Well-done!!! P.S. I LUV recycling things and bringing them back to life. Your channel is a MUST for recyclers!
Great video.. I actually made my own as well.. but just stuck the new one to the old one..does look slightly tatty when you look up from the swing but I don't have a sewing machine and definitely wasn't going to hand sew it... it also gives greater shade..
Nicely done, Vikkie. I wouldn't have known where to start. ;-) I liked the clarity of your audio in this one - using a microphone does make a huge difference in anyone's video. Missed the background music in this one but enjoyed it otherwise with the constant ball counting.
Thanks and well spotted!! I film most of my projects on a budget, apart from my foodie DSLR of course, but thought it was about time for a microphone. I got so sick of having to do more takes due to street noises during intros, so finally bought a Boya by-m1 from Amazon and have been very impressed! It was recommended by Andy of Tales From the Tinkerage. Will make a note about music for next time 😀
It took a lot of balls to make that video! An idea for keeping the flaps down, you could have sewn some non-rusting chains into the seams to add a bit of weight.
🤣 yes, I did consider sewing on some string inside the hem or a piping, but went for the quicker option. But thanks so much for the suggestion - hopefully it can come in handy 😀
Hi Vikki, greetings from germany ! I watch your channel to learn some english and of course some manual tricks. nice swing chair in german it call Hollywoodschaukel ;) great videos
Thanks! :) I love that my videos are also encouraging you to learn English! I wish I could speak other languages. It's funny to see it is named after Hollywood :D
Hi Vickie,It's your friend Milo from across the pond in Washington state.Have you considered doing some merchandise for your channel? I would buy a Carpenters Daughter T-shirt!..I would also buy loads of Carpenters Daughter (carpenter pencils); and pass them out to my friends. You could charge more for hand signed ones, I would buy them also! ...Love to you and yours!..Milo
Thanks :) T-shirts is definitely something I plan on making very soon! I've created my own artwork and had a couple of sample t-shirts done from a printers to wear at Makers Central recently. If you haven't seen it, you can see me wearing one here :) th-cam.com/video/YpKl1XuPY7c/w-d-xo.html. However, they weren't at a price I'd be comfortable charging to people and didn't quite fancy transfers. So I have now bought some screen printing equipment to create more personal ones, but also think it would make a great DIY video too :) I'll keep you posted, but have promised to complete our utility kitchen first 😆
well...after throwing my frame away ... (doh!!🙈) I now find you !! how annoying is that ? it's too late for me.. but I liked your clear descriptions/instructions and tips ! Great job... just wish I'd kept my canopy frame (I kept the swing and my daughter recovered the cushions...with some fabulous fabric which is uv resistant) I've got enough to make a canopy too... just don't have the metal frame for it 🙈
Another great video, but at 4:14 the noise you let out picking the balls off the floor, :-) I remember doing the exact same noise when I hit around age 30 getting up off a chair, :-) that's it I thought, am getting old now, lol, funny enough my son made the same noise last week getting up off a chair and he is a 29 year old keep fit nutter. 😄😄😄
Thanks for the video. I'm not finding a replacement canopy to fit without paying half the price of the bloody swing itself. Btw. Love your dog helping....lol.
Great video Vikki, we have to do the same. Thanks for telling about this fabric didn't know about it. What thickness did you choose and what you think would be better?
Thanks! 😀 This was 60 grams per square metre. I'll try and weigh roughly a metre of my older ripstop for you tomorrow which is much thicker than this (It's in the garage), but I regret not buying 110gsm as a minimum which I think would have a nicer weight to it. A lot of people use this fabric to make hammocks too.
I've weighed the star-printed ripstop I bought from a fabric shop and it's roughly about 300-400gsm and cost me about £7.66 a square metre. I've just had a quick search online and this website looks good: www.profabrics.co.uk/search?q=ripstop* Hopefully you have a fabric shop near by that has some too :D
Hi Vickie, another great video! :) I was wondering if you got a chance to ask your mother-in-law about the type of trees to plant in the garden? Thanks x
Cheers for the fabric tip, I'd probably have gone for a canvas & worked too hard. Do you know if this fabric has a UV rating? It gets extremely hot here & UV levels are high most of the time, causing ordinary fabrics to disintegrate in next to no time.
We have a problem with wind here. I have to take off the canopy or the wind will blow my swing off the deck. Do you have that problem? Is the fabric wind friendly? I'm interested hearing if anyone else has the wind problem, and what they did to their canopy top to prevent the wind from blowing their swing over.
Thanks Warren. Yes, this one I used was 60gsm and worked out my other ripstop fabric was around 300ish gsm and what a difference. I rather fancy making a hammock soon 😁
The Carpenter's Daughter .. Brilliant 😀 what was the family called from south shields?? You never know, me or my dad may have known them. My dad is 80 this year and may know of them. Everybody knew each other years ago😋 thanks for reply 😉
Ah.... just spotted them in the old clip lol. They are long gone 🤣 They were so comfy, but not very attractive. I do have black ankld croc boots though and don't know if they're visible in this video.

That I can believe!!

Thanks, Becky! :) I've read quite a few reviews about people using it for hammocks too which is very tempting :D

What a superb job, you really do make things look so easy.
Once someone knows how to sew a fairly straight stitch, they'll whizz through this 😀
A little cutting here, a little sewing there, and voila, Bob's your uncle....a new canopy! Well-done!!! P.S. I LUV recycling things and bringing them back to life. Your channel is a MUST for recyclers!
Thanks! I do too! I can't bring myself to throw most things away, just in case I find a purpose for them lol
Great job.👍
Im going to try this. I do not have the original cover. So I will measure for my new cover. Thanks for sharing.
Quick and easy. Nice reboot on the garden swing. Now for some sanding and painting to refresh the metal work, huh?
Thanks! :D Hopefully some green Hammerite will do the trick :D
Great job Vikkie! Hope the nice weather stays 😍☀
Thanks Soph :D Yes, please stay sunshine! It's far easier to work in!! 😀
Great video.. I actually made my own as well.. but just stuck the new one to the old one..does look slightly tatty when you look up from the swing but I don't have a sewing machine and definitely wasn't going to hand sew it... it also gives greater shade..

Have never been a fan of that dark green colour, reminds me of the parasols and awnings they have outside pubs but still you did a great job on it.
Thanks! 😀

Thanks, Paul 😀👍
Looks good - that casio watch you are wearing is pretty old-skool
I love it :D So far, it's been indestructible 😆
😂 Hans... What a character! He’s crazy about you.
BFF 😀
Fantastic work
Thank you so much :)
Another great video! We think Hans needs his own channel! 😂👍🏼
😆 Thanks :D I had created one for him, but only use it as and when - it's called A Pet Recommends ;)
Great job! Bargain too! I think Hans is trying to steal the show! Lol
Another great video, but at 4:14 the noise you let out picking the balls off the floor, :-) I remember doing the exact same noise when I hit around age 30 getting up off a chair, :-) that's it I thought, am getting old now, lol, funny enough my son made the same noise last week getting up off a chair and he is a 29 year old keep fit nutter. 😄😄😄
I thought I sounded old picking them up 😂 I just like to generally moan is what it is 🤣
Great job I made one but sewed loops back front and sides were kept in place by shower curtain rings which could be taken off when needed
Good task and good ball count lol , well done 👍
I was going to edit them out lol... but as soon as I watched the footage back, I couldn't stop laughing. So persistent!! 😂
The Carpenter's Daughter anyone would think you don't give him enough attention already 😂
Thanks for the video. I'm not finding a replacement canopy to fit without paying half the price of the bloody swing itself. Btw. Love your dog helping....lol.

Hi Vickie, another great video! :) I was wondering if you got a chance to ask your mother-in-law about the type of trees to plant in the garden? Thanks x
Thanks! I'm so sorry - I completely forgot! I've sent them a text now and will let you know what they say when they reply 😀
Hi again, my mother in law suggested a conifer or an ornamental laurel. Hopefully that helps! :D
Thank you!
Cheers for the fabric tip, I'd probably have gone for a canvas & worked too hard. Do you know if this fabric has a UV rating? It gets extremely hot here & UV levels are high most of the time, causing ordinary fabrics to disintegrate in next to no time.
Sadly I can't find anything online about it. It sounds even more reason to do the quicker way just in case 😂
Well done!
Thank you 😀
The Carpenter's Daughter Always welcome! Hello from Germany, Hubert.
Looks good!
Thank you :D
Excellent~ thank you!
Wonderful!!!!
Thanks :)
Thank you for posting this video as I will be trying to make a canopy for our swing bench.
That poor Hans - what an amazing ball collection though
He has so many lol. One is never enough.. He has his own toy drawer and has learned how to open it and help himself 😂
We have a problem with wind here. I have to take off the canopy or the wind will blow my swing off the deck. Do you have that problem? Is the fabric wind friendly? I'm interested hearing if anyone else has the wind problem, and what they did to their canopy top to prevent the wind from blowing their swing over.
Nice video vikkie canopy looks great like you say it would be better a bit thicker material good job though
Thanks Warren. Yes, this one I used was 60gsm and worked out my other ripstop fabric was around 300ish gsm and what a difference. I rather fancy making a hammock soon 😁
With the same ripstop fabric that is!
The Carpenter's Daughter ohh a hammock would be good then a nice cold bottle off captain Morgan
Neat. And yes, Jobs a good'un 🙂
Thanks Stephen 😉😀
GSM is grams per square meter, correct?
Yes, that's it!
How can I replace or repair canopy side bar/pole 😢
excellent
Omg, why did I throw out the damaged canopyyyyyy! I thought “meh, I’ll just buy a new one, but can’t find the right size! :(
Your Dog love you, so much. ( whimpering ) He want you to play a ball. I know you still busy. Woof !!
I do throw it sometimes when I work 😁 although I know dog trainers would say that's teaching him bad habits 😂
cheers
You're welcome 😀
I think your dog thought your were making gates again and that's why the ball kept turning up.
(DIY Double gate Part 2) : )
lol, I should do a tennis ball montage haha
Hello from Victoria Australia, I-Love your accent , how come it wasn’t raining?
Haha! You can just about hear some pitter patter from rain landing on the canopy when I talk at the end of the video 😂
The Carpenter's Daughter I love your videos.
Thank you 😀
It's a Bobby dazzler 👍
Cheers 😀 Not heard that saying for a long time 😂
The Carpenter's Daughter .. Haha South Shields born and bred. 🤗🤗🤗
😀 my Dad's family were from North & South Shields and Durham in general. (Not sure if I've said that before). I spend a lot of time on my family tree.
The Carpenter's Daughter .. Brilliant 😀 what was the family called from south shields?? You never know, me or my dad may have known them. My dad is 80 this year and may know of them. Everybody knew each other years ago😋 thanks for reply 😉
The families are called Richmond and there's also Cleghorn.
0:03 Suns out=guns out
Sure your hubby is a lucky man to have you
😍
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for this. The instruction manual was pretty bad.
You cruel lady .. please play with that doggy :D
haha, he did get some throws :D
dog number 1 plays with ball number 1, ball number 2 and 3 ..... ;-) and wants you to play with ;-)
ALL DAY LONG 😆 Especially since he knows how to get in to his toy drawer lol
I love your channel and watch every video, but crocs ffs?
Lol... you had me going then. I thought "what crocs?!" Ah... yes... I love my croc ankle boots 😁
Ah.... just spotted them in the old clip lol. They are long gone 🤣 They were so comfy, but not very attractive. I do have black ankld croc boots though and don't know if they're visible in this video.
I think dog wants to play ball.
haha
I sense your dog is kind of high maintenance!
He reaaaally is lol
£7.50 to make it, when it only costs 12 € already made, so why bother?
Firstly... where? And is it the exact size for mine? Highly unlikely.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Amazon
You don't even know the dimensions, so feel free to take a gamble and lose postage if you need to return.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Many different dimensions available. You just need to look
Don't need to..
