    Knocked out a Climashield UQ last night

    I've had a sewing machine for about 2 weeks and I just made an UQ using 5oz Climashield Apex. Thanks to a lot of pics, suggestions, etc on this forum I was able to knock this out with no problems at all.

    Materials...
    2 yards climashield
    4 yards 1.1oz ripstop
    4 strips of black ripstop for the channels
    shock cord
    cord locks

    I did the "inside-out" method which gave me nice edges... just had to stitch up the foot area where I flipped it right-side-out.

    Finished size is about 72" long and 55" wide.

    Nice job. What does it weigh and about what did it cost?

    4 yards 1.1 ripstop = $16
    2 yards Climashield Apex = $32
    25 feet shock cord = $6
    Cord locks = $5

    Considering shipping and the fact that I already had some black ripstop to use... let's call it $70 total.


    Haven't weighed it yet.

    It was supposed to be brown, but with the fabric is translucent so it ended up being more of a golden color

    Thank you for sharing and going to the trouble to weigh it and post the cost. Very cool, well hopefully warm, project.

    What temps are your expecting it to keep you warm at? Looks good, I may want to do a winter quilt for my BMBH like that.
