Thanks
This fits the bill for a first DIY sewing project. Starting with the tarp might be over ambitious

Stupid question about the diagram. What side is the head? 46" or 58"
CdnDave
58"
Adjust your length according to your height. I'm 5' 8" and it comes up over my nose so I have plenty to tuck in over and around my shoulders. Some folks like to have more coverage, some like less...
IIRC I ended up cutting about 4 to 5 inches off the overall length of the PL (a little from each end)..
What size shoes do you wear? I'm assuming my size 13 feet will require a wider bottom
Thanks for getting back to.me
