Well, I didnt know what else to do. I needed to have a tent for this coming weekends faire. Not just for a place to stay, but to stash stuff the public didnt need to see.
I figured it would be too hard to make a bell tent, and too large at that. I then decided that a civil war style wedge tent would work good enough for now.
The cheapest I found one was for $140 so I decided to search for patterns online....no luck

With time running out I managed to design, and sew the following piece in about 6-8 hours of work.

I am quite proud, despite it not necessarily being "medieval".

Who would have thought the Army would give me 5 days of sewing training!
