To assemble the pieces the ends are joined to the top, as indicated by figure 144, the edge of the top forming a binding over the biased edge of the end (see Figure [144A], a cross section of the seam). Scallop the bottom edge as indicated by dotted lines, so that each stripe centres in the scallop (as Figure [144]) and sew a two-inch strip or band of the duck on the inside of the awning to receive the iron, as indicated by dotted lines, Figures [144] and [145]. Figure [145] also indicates where patches of the same material, about four inches square, are sewn to the top (inside) to reinforce the rings through which the ropes pass, and the method of attaching the rope to the iron, small openings being left in the band for this purpose.
Awning rings are sewn along the top edge at intervals of six inches, and also one at each end of the band, as X, Figures [144] and [145]. Mount the awning by sliding the iron through the pocket between the band and the awning proper; thread the ropes through the rings so as to lead to the right side of the awning from inside the room, as Figure [145], and as Figures [142A and B], which show an awning iron in position, but uncovered to show the roping.
