Well here's my latest project. A small tarp. It measures 1.5m x 2m. Its a light tarp and made from 2oz PU ripstop from point north (excellent company by the way). It has grossgrain tie outs and im very please. The color is black and is to cover a hammock chair that im going to make out of some parachute ripstop.
I think the seams turned out very well but the tie outs where a bit messy.
I hope you like it and i am hook as a MYOG'er now!

Thanks for looking.
If anybody is thinking of doing a bit of MYOG'ing then just go for it. If you have a sewing machine its cheap to start.

Make your own gear. The letters aren't in the right order.

Looks a good start chap, have a gander at Hammock forums if you have the time, lots of very good int on construction and materials, lots of good stuff on reinforcing tieouts .

Thanks mate. I really enjoyed making it. I'll have a gander on the hammock forums. The tie outs are strong just not very neat. What other tips might you have up your sleave. Also are you a MYOG fan yourself.
