Try a sail maker...

They should be able to deal with windows quite easily, and will have heavy duty enough machines to sew it.

and wot would you use to proof it.

I had a SWB with 3/4 canvas before and took it to a truck wash for a freebie blast courtesy of a mate, forgot to say don't do the canvas as the wash had heavy duty TFR (traffic film remover) in it and stripped the canvas of all waterproofing...!!! didn't find out properly till it poured a few days later......DOH!

However, MESOWAX fixed that, can't remember who makes it but it goes on with a brush, I did the whole canvas and I stayed dry through two British winters (sold it after that).... so I reckon it's a winner.

Good luck.
