    Traded: Silnylon seconds for sewing work

    I am looking to trade silnylon seconds for sewing work. I would like someone to make a winter tarp (12' RL, cat cuts, panel pulls, any modifications I'm all ears) with my silnylon and they would keep 10-15 yards as payment. I have black and white. If you want to grosgrain the ridge line, great. Flat-felled, great. I'm flexible. I will add some sil to compensate for using any of your materials. Since I have never made a tarp, let me know how to entice one into a deal. Time table for thread injector is one month.
    Thank you for your time.

    Great question. Time table for thread injector is one month. Rules state,one week, but anything I turn in on a quick deadline is put off until the last minute then rushed and not my best work. Take your time. Stop and smell the silicone.

    I'd be interested in taking on the project but couldn't start until after Christmas Day. Turn around once I get started would be just a couple of days depending on options.

    What materials would you need from me?
    Options. Your the artist. What would you prefer?
    I can seam-seal so at least I can say I helped.
    Thanks, again. -Bruinfan

    Just the fabric. I have everything else.

    I can make you one like this for starters.

    I've made one like for myself. It's a handy tarp.

    I made one of those also. It's HUGE. I can hang to one end and still put my small backpacking tent under the other. I love it.

    So, my offer is to make you a DIY Winter tarp as shown in exchange for 10 yards of grey sil seconds. You ship me the fabric and I will ship you a tarp.

    If the current deal does not work I might be interested. I have made three tarps now, just starting a fourth.

    I would not start until after the Christmas Event, white would be my choice of Silnylon.
