DIY Tarp test run

Well, I ordered my supplies from Backwoods Daydreamer today and wanted to test some seams on my machine before testing on the real material....since this will be my first real DIY project. I started out just playing with some scrap rip-stop nylon I had, but figured hey, why not make a small version of the tarp....so...take a look...my ridge line flat-felled seam turned out pretty good, and the cat cuts and rolled hems were passable as well. I will like practice a little more...but now I have a way to keep my shoes dry. :D

I think that's just about right as a tarp for my pup, Chewie! Looks good!

haha thats pretty cool. you need to put some smurfs or action figures under it so we can understand the real life image of it just kidding haha

When I first looked real fast I thought those were GIANT shoes...than I looked closer and saw the chairs and a rug...

Now that the test run went well, good luck on the real run! Looks good! And yea, good way to keep your shoes dry!

What does it weigh??
:lol::lol:
Do you have a pic of it in the stuff sack?:laugh:

You might just have a marketable item for dog, pooches, or man's best friend...that or a replacment for ground mats to keep your stuff dry!
