I made this tarp out of the 70D urethane coated. A lttle on the heavy side, but it's nice stuff.

Not really. Just figured the dimensions I wanted and went from there. There are a few pics in my gallery of the process. The biggest help was I made a template from 36' wide paper first. Then it was just a matter of tracing it on the material.

1" grosgrain...http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=49882
It's not necessary, as you could just hem the edges. I'm just a big fan of grosgrain. I think it adds a level of durability to any project. Plus it looks nice. It doesn't weigh all that much, but yes, it will add a few grams to the weight. I just finished my DIY hammock with an integrated bugnet. I used grosgrain on both edges of that too. You can see details of it in the DIY section.
