There are some gorgeous examples of square tents. Mine is almost done. I managed to sew the walls together today and I just have to add the walls to the roof now and then hem the edge. I want to see how the tent "flows" off the frame before hemming so I know the exact amount to hem all 15 yards of outdoor fabric.
The tent has a "natural" colored roof with green walls. The walls have a scroll design.
The windows came out nicely. The windows are out of a cotton gauze that matches in color with roof. The overshades for the windows are in the natural too.
