Forgive me for not matching my stripes on the front.
Do you like sewing straight seams for hours at a time? These panels are about 6 feet long, and there are 5 of them not counting the front door. That's why the child can stand up inside - they're very LONG panels. Do you have 10-12 yards of unwanted fabric sitting around? I had this giant roll from a church sale - $5 for the whole roll, and I still have some left if you're interested!
Dean drilled holes in the PVC pipes, so a special shout-out to him.
But it was all worth it for the happiness it brought (Jake enjoys the teepee as well), and my child gave me 2 extra hugs with thank-you's, plus he slept in it last night (did I mention it was really big?).
Now wasn't I supposed to be working on a fleece jacket?

That is seriously awesome. I will not be showing this to my kids... I can hear the begging now.
How fun! I can totally believe that he slept inside it last night. You deserve a lot more than a couple of extra hugs for all those long straight seams!
Oops. Made a typo. Yes, that is one FANTASTIC TENT. What a good mommy!! I'm sure he'll remember it fondly around visits when he is 30...and you can laugh when you remember all that straight stitching...
Oooo, I've thought about doing this one too! 'Cept for our tiny house...
Great job and lucky kids!
The teepee is great! Like Kid,MD I am not showing this pic to my daugther as she is sure to want one in princess fabric.
