1.    Materials Needed:

1. Standard sewing machine
2. No. 14 sewing needles
3. White thread, 100% 3-Ply Polyester available in many stores - e.g. white (color 400) #5244188 from Wal-Mart or www.walmart.com

2.    Directions for sewing StormCovers:

1. Measure from center of your grommet placement to center of the opposite side grommet placement and add 3 inches.
2. Measure top center of grommet placement to center of the bottom grommet placement and add 3 inches.
3. Square your fabric to the size needed to cover window from the measurements in A & B

Measure in 2 inches on the wrong side of fabric on all sides and mark with a line all around. (See Picture 1, Click Here)

Fold one long side in to the line you marked.  This gives you a one-inch hem.  Blue clips show hem folded. Start sewing at the top line and end at the bottom line close to the edge of the hem. (See Picture 2, Click Here)

1. Repeat for the opposite side. (See Picture 3, Click Here)

1. Cut out a rectangle on each corner leaving 1/4 inch above your side seam and 1/4 inch at the fold. (See Picture 4, Click Here)

1. Fold down top to line.  Sew at edge of hem. (See Picture 5, Click Here)

1. Repeat for the bottom side. (See picture 6 & 7)

Turn over to the right side and stitch 1/16 inch from the folded edge. (See Picture 8, Click Here)

1. Mark for your grommets, and install the grommets.  We recommend at around 12 inches in high wind areas.
