Finished my canopy top, thanks to your excellent tutorial. I made it a tiny bit too long but it looks pretty good. Going to attempt the seat now. Wish me luck. Recovering from open heart surgery, so this is good therapy, mental and physical. No one to help me. Never underestimate the power of a woman!
Good job. Hope you recover well!
Thank you for this video. I’ve been slowly working on my swing like this and it’s been a challenge to say the least. I enjoy your tutorials as they are very thorough and easy to understand.
Excellent tutorial !!!!!! You make it look so easy. I’m going to start working on my swing.
I need the seat part replaced only. Anywhere to buy already assembled? Size and sling design same as this video.
Hello thank you for the video. I have a three seat swing and each seat has its own sleeve. Any recommendations for that type of swing? I think I need the entire piece the fabric and the the part that rides into the area that holds the sling in place. I don’t know got to sew. Are there any companies that send the sling ready to replace?
Thank you 😊
What is the gauge called that you are using to add the lines with?

What if you have a 3 person sling swing that's old needs fixed.
The concepts should be the same.
Where could i get a replacement cloth
