BONDEBOND on here from Arkansas keeps telling me he purchased a hand sew kit and re-sewed his own bag. Turned out better than before when new...
My awning bag is in same shape your's is I think. I have been strapping it to the traiel various ways to keep the contents of the bag from falling out. This season it is just too bad to do this any more... I was planning on removing my awning and leave here at the house.
This is what a sew kit looks like


I have no idea how simple or hard this is to use haha...
There are a few places to purchase a new bag but the cost is almost the same as a new awning I think. It is also hard to determine what size to purchase as well and of course the awning material is required to be sewed inside the bag requiring you to send them your awning material.
I am even thinking about a quick tarp hook-up using the awning mounting hardware to work for me???? I have seen some POPUPs with a 20X30 tarp over the whole top and extending out on the patio side and held up with tent poles. Then tied off to the ground... I have done this myself in the past but had the awning extended to support the tarp. Have never done this without an awning and its hardware.
