The best repair is to replace the fabric. There are youtube videos for DIY folks or an RV center can replace the fabric. Doubtful sewing wold work and likely the stitching would be like the perforation in a piece of paper to make tearing the paper (awning fabric) easier. If repairing the old ripped awning, patching with a good vinyl glue that bonds (melts) vinyl and gluing a new piece of vinyl fabric over the torn part might work for a while. Again, once the vinyl fabric is compromised, replacement is the best option. If the fabric is Acrylic cloth, I wouldn't even attempt repair and just replace. Unless making an acrylic cloth repair yourself, labor would likely exceed the cost of new fabric.
