I am new to DIY and I wanted to try something easy so I figured I would start with a Tyvek envelope stake & suspension caddy. There are a bunch of threads about it on here, so I had my evening planned out. I made one and it turned out ok, but I wanted to include my ground cloth. I know a lot of people dont think they are needed, but I like to have something clean and dry to put my feet on in the morning. I have been using a heavy 5x7 blue one with grommets (8 oz), but had some rip stop lying around that I have been planning to try some projects with so I figured I would make a smaller/lighter one. My hem is UGLY, but its staying together so I count it a win! I thought I would just roll the tyvek thing up in the ground cloth, then I thought why not just sew the caddy to the ground cloth? So I cut out what I wanted and marked it up then sewed it to the corner of the ground cloth. I think it turned out great. The whole kit now weighs a touch over 10 oz (from 19+ oz before).
