Thanks, Catavarie. I bought it at a funky fabric warehouse where nothing is really labeled. I've never had my hands on "real" silnylon so I didn't realize that it wasn't just coated fabric. I thought...

Hi, all! I've got my silnylon tarp all measured and marked and I'm ready to start pinning it for sewing. But I'm not sure if the sil side should end up on the outside or the underside of the finished...

Thanks for sharing this fab design! I found some sheer fabric for a buck a yard that I think will work well. Plus, it's kind of a mauve/pink shade so I can wake up to a "looking through rose colored...

I've been biting my lip, wringing my hands, and combing through posts looking for concise instruction before I take the scissors to my silnylon. THANK YOU for this! It's so helpful!

Mmmm...photography...lovely. Thanks for letting us tag along virtually!

Favorite moment, "Why are we whispering?!" Hee hee!

Sounds like a fantastic trip! Thanks for the great post!

Ricecg, I didn't notice any but I was also buried in aisle 20 trying to figure out what could work and thinking hard about that pretty gortex material. Also, when you say insulation, do you mean...

Thanks, BER! I'll keep you all posted as I get through the learning curve.

Good tip, Simon! Especially at that warehouse where things aren't very clearly marked and there's virtually no staff...

Wow! Lot's of good stuff to think about. Thanks, everyone, for your input.

I'm thinking I'll hold off on using the gortex for this first project. I am curious about it and it sounds like $6 a...

This fabric warehouse is kind of a funky place. It's huge, kind of messy, floor to ceiling fabric on bolts and rolls. JoAnn's it ain't! The roll I found was labeled gortex but, honestly, I'm so...

I was unable to find any silnylon in the masses of rolls and bolts of material at the big fabric warehouse near my home. I found some ripstop fabric (I assume it's not treated since it wasn't marked...

I'm not even a noob at this point, just a wannabe! My son just crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and the Scout Master of one of the troops we visited is a hanger. That first hammock camping...
