DIY Tyvek ugly tarp. Aka Blizzard Camo Tarp

[UncleClark]

Are you trying to avoid seam sealing?If so, I think using a Flat-Felled/ French Seam and a small enough needle you'll be ok, if using the "soft" type Tyvek. I used too big of a needle so I sealed it. I don't have any experience with the hard/ paper type of Tyvek

I'm OK with seam sealing. I am using the hard Tyvek. I was just thinking that if the seams ran vertical any dripping might follow the seam down the inside?

That's a good idea about using a small needle. I think I have a fairly large needle in my sewing machine, I'm going to change it out to a smaller needle and see what happens.

I understand this is an older post, and I may have missed the link. Do you have the pattern? We camp frequently with temps in the lower 30s, and a closed tarp system would be fantastic. I just dont want to drop 200 bucks for one.

Did you ever make your Tyvek tarp? Do you have any pics? I'm really thinking about doing the same thing.
