I allowed myself to play with the camper, which is  opened up in the shop for now. I had been thinking I was going to find a sewing machine and then figure out how to use it(I've always wanted to know how) so I could then sew patches on the several holes mice put in canvas (previous owner). I researched some on repairs and several folks suggested various adhesives. I just happened upon the good stuff at Orschelns: Bish's Original-Tear Mender. The stuff works great on fabric/canvas and is water proof and dries quick and is easy to work with. So I cut up a perfectly usable canvas "gym bag" and made patches. I also cut up a blue Coleman bag from a folding chair and used the "Coleman" name area to make a patch for the bluish part I needed to patch...on the Coleman camper. The patches are inside so if I find matching canvas later I can fill in exterior to match. I still want a sewing machine and to know how to use it-for other projects...when welding and riveting just won't do.

I also sewed 2 screen patches in place with grey button thread and they turned out great-not sure it will show up in picture.
