Windsocks
Let's start with the stats:
They're made of a lightweight cotton material.
The fabric was washed before they were
sewn and there was no dye run.
The length without the cord is around 4'.
The nylon hanging cord is approximately 10".
The diameter is 4.5".
They weigh in at a little over 1.5 ounces.
When I first started sewing windsocks, I
knew what they looked like but wasn't sure
how they were made. I wanted my
windsocks to be pretty and sturdy, so I found
some lightweight cotton material and created
my own pattern.
Having looked at a few more windsocks, I
have discovered that many are made from
taffeta or nylon and most are glued rather
than sewn. They're probably good products, I
just like doing things my own way.
That's why every piece is sewn, tabbed and
triple-stitched.
Even the streamers are triple-stitched to the
bottom of the sock and the sides are treated
with poly to keep them from fraying too much.
The cords are made of commercially braided
nylon that is wrapped with color-coordinated
craft wire to retard wear.
The price: 10.00
