My new daughter-in-law, bless her, is taking an interest in this whole Pitts thing. Probably just humoring me, but she did make an interesting suggestion, when he explained the high cost of recovering a Pitts: it's labor-intensive.
Her idea: get the local little-old-ladies sewing club / quilting society to do the fabric work! The ones she knows are always looking for projects - my own mother sews dresses and play clothes out of scrap material that gets sent to orphanages in Africa.
Assuming one could corral such labor and keep them happy and interested, why not? It *is* just a big sewing project, after all, and the large scale of it may actually be easier than fine work on quilts and clothes.
Like I said, a crazy, out-of-the-box idea. (As an engineer, I have deep appreciation for such inspired thoughts, even if they don't work out.)
Anybody heard of such an effort? It's kinda Rosie the Riveter redux!
