Pattern from The Sailmaker’s Apprentice by Emiliano Marino.

Drawing the pattern on millboard and cut it out to templates is good for future use.

If my memory serves me correctly the cloth used was 510 grams/sqm, needle no: 16.

Very nice! Where did you find the brass eye? I’m looking for a source for a project.

Hi and Welcome to the forum.  
Toplicht is one place to buy brass thimbles. [Brass round thimble | TOPLICHT](https://www.toplicht.com/rigg-sail/wire-rope-thimbles-turnbuckles/thimbles/brass-round-thimble)

I think got them from Råseglarhuset. It’s not in the web shop you have to drop him an email. [https://www.raseglarhuset.com/](https://www.raseglarhuset.com/)
