    Pye! I made a reflector like yours, however, I have a good question.

    It seems to me you have made it into a “Rectangular” shape. I started with a “Square” shape but then I realized it was too small. When I wanted it to be a bit more wide, so I made it “Circular” and Stitched it to increase durability whenever I pack it up.

    What was your intention by making it “Rectangular”?
