It’s a little more difficult to sew such a canopy, but the result is impressive - it’s almost an awning, which can comfortably shelter a crib or chair from the light.
You will need:

- two types of fabric for a canopy;
- a plastic hoop;
- Velcro tape, it is also Velcro;
- sewing machine;
- threads;
- pins;
- scissors;
- cardboard and pencil for making a template.
1. Determine the desired length and width of the fabric for the main part of the canopy. The length will be equal to the length of your canopy plus allowances for hemming the bottom and seams. The width will be equal to the circumference of your hoop x 1.5 for drapery (if you want more magnificent folds, multiply the value of the circumference of the hoop by 2), plus allowances for seams. Cut out the part of the main part of the canopy.
2. Determine the length and width of the canopy trim strip. The length will be equal to the circumference of the hoop plus allowances for the seams, the width - as you wish (for example, about 30 cm). Cut out two details of blanks for the canopy strap.

3. Draw a template to create a zigzag edge of the canopy strap. To do this, divide the length of the bar (recall, it is equal to the length of the circumference of the hoop) divided by the number of zigzag corners you need. This will be the width of each corner. Draw a template on the cardboard similar to what you see in the photo, and cut it out. Then transfer the pattern to the fabric using the template.
4. Cut the corners on both parts of the canopy trim strip.

14. Cut 8 triangles to form the top of the canopy. The formula for constructing triangles:
Width of triangle base = 1/8 hoop girth + seam allowances
The length of the triangle (from the middle of the base to the top) = ¾ of the diameter of the hoop
15. First sew 4 triangles on the sides. Then sew the other 4 as well.Before connecting both resulting canvases into a cone, tighten the loop to one of them, as shown in photo 15.

- braid for decoration;
- scissors or a knife for cutting;
- sewing machine;
- pins;
- threads;
- something round - as a template for constructing the rounded edges of the canopy (large bowl, pan cover, and so on).
