Tents!

Little pink arming tent

Looking at period images, it’s clear that a round tent is the most common design. I had put the possibility of a round tent out of reach, but following a fair amount of mathing and patio chalk drawings I realized that with the last little bit of clearance pink twill I could manage a little round tent to see how it went. And it went stinking adorable, turns out the key was to remember I’m making a tent for me so it can be my size. It is about 9 ft at the peak, 9ft in diameter at the base and 6 ft in diameter at the shoulder which sits 6ft tall. It’s internally supported using a hub and spoke which while lacking much historical evidence does allow for the tent to backed extremely small and set up in around 15 minutes solo. It perfectly fits my little wooden bed and side table.
